EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about eating butter-fat with caution. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked about a mouse that had fallen into butter fat and died. He advised to throw away the mouse and the portion of butter fat around it, but to eat the rest of it. This teaches us that we should be careful when consuming food items as there may be contaminants in them which can cause harm if consumed. We should also take precautionary measures such as washing our hands before eating or cooking food properly before consumption in order to avoid any health risks associated with contaminated food items. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us not to waste food unnecessarily as we are encouraged by Islam to consume what is available without wasting it unnecessarily.
