EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith of Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri teaches us that it is important to cover our mouths when we yawn. This is because the devil can enter through an open mouth while yawning. We should use our hands to cover our mouths in order to protect ourselves from the devil and his influence. This hadith also teaches us that we should be mindful of how we act and take precautions even for something as simple as a yawn.
