EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Jabir b. Samura, emphasizes the importance of generosity and kindness in Islam. It is a fundamental part of Islamic teachings that Muslims should be generous and kind to others, especially those who are less fortunate than them. This includes giving charity to those in need, helping out family members or friends who are struggling financially, or simply being kind to strangers by offering a smile or a kind word when needed. Being generous and kind can also include volunteering one's time for a good cause or donating money to an organization that helps people in need. In addition to these acts of kindness, Muslims should also strive for justice and fairness when dealing with other people as well as animals and the environment around them.

The Prophet Muhammad said “Whoever has been blessed with abundance should be generous with it” which highlights the importance of generosity within Islamic teachings. Generosity does not only mean giving away material possessions but also includes sharing knowledge, wisdom, time, energy etc., all which can benefit both giver and receiver alike if done sincerely from the heart without expecting anything in return except Allah’s pleasure . Therefore this hadith serves as an important reminder for us all that we must strive towards being more generous with whatever we have been blessed with so that we may gain Allah’s pleasure through our actions .
