In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad is teaching us that it is permissible to eat animals that have been slaughtered with a sharp-edged stone. This means that if one does not have access to the proper tools for slaughtering an animal, they can still consume it as long as they use something sharp and effective like a stone. This teaches us the importance of being resourceful and making do with what we have in order to fulfill our needs. It also shows us how merciful and understanding the Prophet was towards his followers, allowing them to make do in difficult situations without compromising their faith or beliefs.
