Take out any unwanted creature from food items before using them; Respect food items; Do not waste resources even if something undesirable has happened to them as long as they are still usable; Be careful when handling food items so that no unwanted creatures enter them.

This hadith is about what to do when there is a mouse in ghee. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked what should be done if there was a mouse found in some ghee. He replied that one should take out the mouse and throw away the ghee around it but keep and use whatever remains of it. This teaches us that we should not waste food or other resources even if something undesirable has happened to them as long as they are still usable. We must also be careful when handling food items so that no unwanted creatures enter them.
