Riyad as-Salihin, 606

Tamim bin Usaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

I came to Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while he was delivering a Khutbah and said: "O Messenger of Allah, a stranger (meaning himself) has come to inquire about his Deen. He is quite ignorant about his Deen." Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) interrupted his Khutbah and turned to me. Then a chair was brought for him and he sat on it. He started instructing me what Allah had taught him. Then he resumed his Khutbah and completed it. [Muslim].

وعن أبي رفاعة تميم بن أسيد رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ انتهيت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يخطب، فقلت‏:‏ يا رسول الله رجل غريب جاء يسأل عن دينه لا يدرى ما دينه‏؟‏ فأقبل علي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وترك خطبته حتى انتهى إلى فأتى بكرسي، فقعد عليه وجعل يعلمني مما علمه الله ثم أتى خطبته فأتم آخرها”‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadith: 1) It shows the Prophet’s complete modesty and compassion towards Muslims and points out his wisdom, as his way of teaching attracts people’s hearts to Islam. 2) We should pay attention to such important things that can be missed if they are not dealt with immediately. That is why the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) chose to interrupt the sermon and teach that man.
