Granting permissions

This hadith speaks to the importance of granting permission to people, even if it is not granted by the person asked. In this hadith, 'A'isha's foster-uncle Abu'l Ja'd sought permission from her which she refused. When Allah's Apostle came, she informed him about it and he said "Why did you not permit him? Let your right hand or hand be besmeared with dust." This shows that we should always grant permission when asked for something as a sign of respect and kindness towards others. It also teaches us that we should think twice before denying someone's request as it may have negative consequences for us in the future. We should always strive to be kind and respectful towards others in our daily lives.
