Respect animals; Be kind & compassionate towards all living creatures; Do not exploit or mistreat any animal in any way; Strive to be merciful & caring towards all living things.

The Prophet Muhammad taught that it is forbidden to pay money for a dog. This means that it is not permissible to buy or sell dogs in exchange for money. This hadith also teaches us the importance of respecting animals and not exploiting them in any way. It also shows us how much respect and kindness the Prophet had towards animals and how he wanted people to treat them with care and compassion.

The Prophet's teachings are still relevant today as we should strive to be kind and compassionate towards all living creatures, including animals. We should never exploit or mistreat any animal in any way as this goes against the teachings of Islam which promote kindness and mercy towards all living things.
