EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Asma bint Abi Bakr, tells us that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged people to free slaves during a solar eclipse. This is an act of kindness and mercy towards those who are enslaved and oppressed. It is also an opportunity for those who own slaves to gain reward from Allah SWT by freeing them. By doing so, they will be rewarded in this life and the hereafter for their good deeds. Furthermore, it teaches us that we should always strive to do good deeds even if it is something small like freeing a slave or helping someone in need.
