Think carefully before making decisions which could have far-reaching consequences on our lives and those around us.

This hadith is about a man who had six slaves but decided to emancipate all of them at the time of his death. When the Prophet was informed about this, he spoke severely against it and instead suggested that they be divided into three sections, with lots being cast among them so that two would be freed while four would remain enslaved. This teaches us that emancipation should not be done in one go as it can lead to chaos or disruption in society; rather, it should be done gradually over time so as not to cause any harm or damage. It also shows us how important it is for us to think carefully before making decisions which could have far-reaching consequences on our lives and those around us.
