Showing kindness & mercy towards all living creatures

The hadith narrated by Abu Yahya from Mujahid from Ibn 'Abbas states that the Prophet Muhammad prohibited instigating fights between animals. This means that it is not permissible to cause two animals to fight each other for entertainment or any other purpose. This prohibition is based on the Islamic principle of mercy and compassion towards all living creatures, as Allah has commanded us to show kindness and mercy even towards animals. It also serves as a reminder of our responsibility as stewards of this earth and its inhabitants, including both humans and animals alike.

The values taught in this hadith are those of mercy, compassion, kindness and responsibility towards all living creatures. These values are essential for leading a life in accordance with Islamic teachings and principles. Furthermore, it serves as an important reminder that we should strive to treat all living beings with respect and care regardless of their species or size.
