Take precautions against potential danger; Be mindful of one's actions; Protect oneself and others from harm; Follow orders given by prophets/messengers/leaders with wisdom .

This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's order to kill a short-tailed or mutilated-tailed snake, also known as Abtar. This type of snake is dangerous and can blind the on-looker and cause abortion. The Prophet Muhammad wanted to protect people from this type of snake by ordering its killing. He was concerned for the safety of people and wanted them to be safe from any harm that could come their way. This hadith teaches us that we should take precautions against any potential danger in our lives, even if it comes in the form of an animal like a snake. We should also be mindful of our actions and how they may affect others around us, as well as ourselves.
