EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Anas ibn Malik teaches us that it is wrong to collect more charity than what is due. The Prophet Muhammad was emphasizing the importance of being fair and honest when it comes to collecting charity. He was warning people not to take advantage of others by taking too much money from them in the form of charity or almsgiving. We should always be mindful and respectful when asking for donations or giving out donations so that we can ensure fairness and justice for all involved.

This hadith also teaches us about the importance of generosity and kindness towards others. We should always strive to give as much as we can in order to help those who are less fortunate than us, but at the same time we must remember not to take advantage of people’s generosity by asking for too much money or taking more than what is due from them.
