EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the truthfulness of a statement made by the poet Labid. He said that everything besides Allah is vain and has no value. This means that all things in this world are temporary and will eventually come to an end. We should not put our trust in these things because they will not last forever. Instead, we should put our trust in Allah who is eternal and everlasting. We should also strive to be truthful in all aspects of life as this was something highly valued by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ .
