Treat all Muslims with respect and dignity both in life and in death

This hadith teaches us that we must respect all Muslims, even after their death. It is wrong to break any bones of a Muslim when they are dead or alive. A'isha was emphasizing this point by saying that breaking the bone of a Muslim when he is dead is like breaking it when he is alive. This means that it should not be done in either case as it shows disrespect to them and their body. We must remember to treat all Muslims with respect and dignity, both in life and in death.
