Take initiative in life, Work hard for rewards

This hadith speaks about the benefits of digging wells. It was narrated by 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal that the Prophet said that whoever digs a well, they are entitled to forty forearms' length surrounding it as a resting place for their flocks. This means that if someone takes the effort and time to dig a well, they will be rewarded with an area around it where their animals can rest and graze. This hadith teaches us about how hard work pays off and encourages us to take initiative in our lives in order to reap its rewards. It also teaches us about being generous with our resources and not taking more than what we need from them.
