On one of the Journeys of the Prophet, the group of travelers embarked on roasting a goat. One volunteered to slaughter the animal, another to skin it, and another to cook it.

The prophet (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him) said that he would collect the firewood. Although his companions were quite ready to do all the work, the Prophet wanted to help and participate in the teamwork. He never assumed superiority over his companions.
