Have an intention when performing acts of worship ; Be mindful and sincere in one's intentions ; Follow Islamic teachings even if there is a valid reason not to do so ; Strive for maximum reward from Allah SWT .

This hadith talks about the importance of having an intention when assuming Ihram. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) asked 'Ali what his intention was for assuming the Ihram, and upon hearing that it was the same as that of the Prophet, he advised him to keep his Ihram as it is if he had a Hadi with him. This teaches us that we should always have an intention in mind when performing any act of worship or religious practice, such as Hajj or Umrah. We should also be mindful of our intentions and make sure they are pure and sincere before we start any act of worship. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us to be mindful of our actions while performing acts of worship; even if we have a valid reason for doing something differently than what has been prescribed by Islam, we should still strive to follow Islamic teachings in order to gain maximum reward from Allah SWT.
