Ask questions for clarification/verification; Be careful when passing on knowledge/information; Verify sources of information .

This hadith emphasizes the importance of asking from whom a hadith was heard. It was narrated by Habib bin Ash-Shahid that Muhammad bin Sirin asked him to ask Al-Hasan Al-Basri from whom he heard this particular hadith about 'Aqiqah'. When asked, Al-Hasan said that he heard it from Samurah. This shows how important it is to ask and verify the source of any information or knowledge before accepting it as true and reliable. It also teaches us to be careful when passing on information and knowledge so as not to misguide others with false information or knowledge.
