He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish if Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. He then kept silence.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet's oath to fight against the Quraish. He swore three times that he would fight them, but then added "if Allah wills" each time. Ultimately, he did not end up fighting them. This hadith teaches us that we should always be mindful of Allah's will and accept it even if it does not align with our own desires or plans. We should also remember that no matter how much we plan and prepare for something, only Allah can make it happen in His own way and timing.

This hadith also reminds us of the importance of being careful with our words and promises; when making an oath or a promise, we must be sure that we are able to fulfill it before saying anything out loud. We should also remember that if something is out of our control or beyond our capabilities, then there is no point in swearing by Allah about it as He knows best what will happen in any given situation.
