Call out three times when coming across a shepherd or garden

This hadith teaches us that when we come across a shepherd or garden, we should call out to the owner three times before taking anything from them. If they answer our calls then all is well and good but if not then we can take what we need without taking advantage of them. This hadith teaches us to be respectful and courteous towards others and their property even if it means going without something that we need in the moment. It also teaches us to be mindful of how our actions might affect others and not take advantage of those who are unable to protect themselves or their property from being taken away by someone else.
