This hadith emphasizes the importance of giving charity and being generous. It teaches us that once we have given charity, we should not take it back as this goes against the teachings of Islam. We must remember that Allah is the Most Generous and He loves those who are generous to others. Therefore, when we give charity, we must do so with a sincere heart and without expecting anything in return. This hadith also reminds us to be mindful of our actions and words as they can have a lasting impact on others.

Furthermore, this hadith encourages us to practice selflessness by giving away what we have without expecting anything in return or taking it back later on. It teaches us that generosity is an important part of our faith and that Allah rewards those who are generous with His blessings both in this world and the hereafter. Thus, by following this teaching from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ,we can become better Muslims who strive for excellence in all aspects of life including giving charity generously without any expectations or conditions attached to it.
