EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is a reminder from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that we should not compare ourselves to others. It is important for us to remember that everyone has their own unique qualities and talents, and it is wrong for us to think that we are better than someone else just because they may have different abilities or skills than us. We should be humble and recognize our own strengths and weaknesses without comparing ourselves with others. We should also strive to be the best version of ourselves without feeling inferior or superior towards anyone else. This hadith teaches us the importance of having self-esteem while also being humble at the same time.
