Be precise in communication, Ask questions for clarity

This hadith is about the definition of an animal with a slit ear and broken horn. Qatadah asked Sa’id b. al-Musayyab what this meant and he replied that it was half or more than half. This hadith teaches us to be precise in our language when communicating so that we can avoid any confusion or misunderstanding between people. It also teaches us to ask questions if we are unsure about something so that we can gain clarity on the matter at hand.
