Respond kindly even when faced with hostility .

This hadith teaches us the importance of responding to hostility with gentleness and kindness. Even when faced with aggression, we should not respond in kind but instead show mercy and compassion. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) demonstrated this by responding to a group of Jews who said "As-Samu 'Alaik" ("death be upon you") by saying "Wa 'Alaik" ("and upon you"). His wife, Aishah, was surprised at his response but he explained that Allah loves gentleness in every matter. This hadith reminds us that no matter how difficult the situation may be, we should always strive for peace and understanding rather than engaging in conflict or violence. We can learn from this hadith that it is better to forgive than to seek revenge; it is better to show mercy than hatred; it is better to love than hate; and it is better to give peace a chance rather than resorting immediately into violence or aggression.
