EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the time when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed away. It is narrated by 'Aisha that at this time, his armor was mortgaged to a Jew for thirty Sa’s of barley. A sa’a is an ancient unit of measurement which equates to four amperes or four and a half kilograms. This hadith shows us how humble and generous the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was even in his last days on earth. He did not have much money but he still gave what he could in charity and kindness towards others. It also teaches us that we should be generous with whatever we have no matter how little it may be as it can make a big difference in someone else’s life.
