EXPLANATIONS:
According to this hadith, Muslims are obligated to pay a fifth of any treasure they find buried in the ground. This is known as Khums, which is a type of tax that must be paid to the government. This hadith teaches us that we should be honest and pay our taxes even if it means giving up something valuable that we have found. It also teaches us about being responsible citizens and contributing our share towards society. We should not try to keep all of what we find for ourselves but instead use it for the benefit of others as well.
