EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) practice of buying and selling slaves. He was known to buy slaves in exchange for two other slaves. This shows that he was against slavery and wanted to free as many people as possible from it. He also showed mercy by not punishing those who were enslaved but instead exchanging them with others so they could be freed from their bondage. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to help those who are oppressed or enslaved in any way we can, whether it be through buying them out of slavery or helping them find freedom in another way. We should also show mercy towards those who are oppressed and not punish them for their circumstances but instead try to help them find freedom and justice.
