EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about mourning the dead. It tells us that when Abdullah bin Rawaha fell unconscious and eventually died, his sister did not weep over him. This teaches us that we should not be too emotional when someone dies, as it is a natural part of life. We should instead remember them with fond memories and celebrate their life rather than grieve for them too much. We can also learn from this hadith to be prepared for death at any time, as it can come unexpectedly like in the case of Abdullah bin Rawaha.
