EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of being generous and kind to others. It is narrated by 'Imran b. Husain that Allah has commanded us to be generous in our dealings with people, as well as to do good deeds for them out of kindness and excellence (Ihsan). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that when we give charity or do something good for someone else out of kindness, it will bring us closer to Allah's mercy and blessings. He also said that if we are generous with our wealth or possessions, then Allah will reward us in return with even more abundance. Furthermore, he taught us that if we are kind towards others then they will be kind towards us in return; this is a sign of true faithfulness from both sides.

In conclusion, this hadith encourages us to practice generosity and kindness towards one another so that we can reap the rewards from Allah in this life and the hereafter.
