Be mindful while assuming any religious obligation like performing pilgrimage or other rituals associated with it; be aware about your intentions behind doing so and also be considerate towards others in such matters etc..

This hadith is about how one should assume the state of Ihram for Hajj and Umra. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions assumed this state when they went to Mecca for Hajj. Those who did not have a Hadi were asked to regard their Ihram as Umra only. When Ali bin Abi Talib came from Yemen with an intention to perform Hajj, he was asked by the Prophet ﷺ if his wife was with him or not, since they already had a Hadi with them. He replied that he assumed it with same intention as that of the Prophet ﷺ, so he was told to keep on in this state. This hadith teaches us about being mindful while assuming any religious obligation like performing pilgrimage or other rituals associated with it; we must be aware about our intentions behind doing so and also be considerate towards others in such matters. It also teaches us about being respectful towards our elders and following their instructions even if we do not understand them at first instance; because Allah has given them wisdom which is beyond our understanding sometimes!
