EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the value of not buying something even if it is offered for a very low price. It emphasizes that we should not be tempted by the low cost and instead focus on whether or not we actually need the item in question. We should also consider whether or not it will benefit us in any way, as well as its quality and usefulness before making a purchase decision. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was teaching his companions to be wise with their money and to think carefully before spending it on anything, no matter how cheap it may seem at first glance. He wanted them to understand that sometimes, what looks like a good deal can end up being more costly than expected in the long run.

This hadith also teaches us about self-control and discipline when it comes to spending money wisely, which are important values that everyone should strive for in life. We must remember that our resources are limited and so we must use them judiciously if we want to make sure they last us through our lifetime without running out too soon!
