Share what you have with others who may need it more than yourself

This hadith tells us that the Prophet Muhammad allowed his companions to eat the meat of an animal hunted while they were in Ihram. This was a special permission given by the Prophet as it is usually forbidden for Muslims to hunt or consume any animals while in this state. The companions were on their way to perform 'Umrah and had entered into a state of holiness known as Ihram. Despite this restriction, when one of them went hunting and brought back some food for his fellow travelers, the Prophet gave them permission to eat it. This teaches us that even during times of holiness and devotion we should not forget about our basic needs such as food and drink. We should also be generous with what we have and share it with others who may need it more than ourselves.
