Abdullah b. 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying: I saw in a dream that I was using miswak and two persons contended to get it from me, one being older than the other one. I gave the miswak to the younger one. It was said to me to give that to the older one and I gave it to the older one.
The Prophet's decision to give the miswak to the elder person despite him being younger than him is a lesson that teaches us about humility and kindness towards those who are older than us regardless of their age or relationship with us. It also teaches us that age should be respected as it brings wisdom and experience with it which can help guide our decisions in life. Furthermore, this hadith serves as a reminder that we should always strive to treat everyone with kindness regardless of their age or status in society as this will lead to better relationships between all members of society.
