Sunan Abi Dawud 5258 (Book 43, Hadith 486) #25549
Three Warnings Before Taking Action

SUMMARY: It is important to give a warning three times before taking any action against something that appears to be a devil.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn 'Ajilan through a different chain of narrators briefly. This version has: He should give it a warning three times. If it appears to him after that, he should kill it, for it is a devil.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مُخْتَصَرًا قَالَ ‏ "‏ فَلْيُؤْذِنْهُ ثَلاَثًا فَإِنْ بَدَا لَهُ بَعْدُ فَلْيَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ

Give multiple warnings before taking any action.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of giving warnings before taking any action. It is important to give three warnings in order for the person or thing being warned to understand that they must take the warning seriously and act accordingly. After giving three warnings, if it still appears as a devil, then it should be killed as it is considered dangerous and harmful. This hadith also teaches us about patience and understanding, as we should not take immediate action without first giving multiple warnings. We should also remember that we are responsible for our actions and must think carefully before making decisions.
