Be mindful of your surroundings and avoid places where you may be exposed to things forbidden in Islam such as pictures or dogs. Be patient if someone you are expecting does not arrive on time; it could be for any number of reasons beyond their control.

This hadith is about the importance of avoiding places that contain pictures or dogs. It is narrated by Salim's father, who recounts how the Prophet Muhammad was worried when Gabriel delayed his visit. When he finally arrived, Gabriel explained that they do not enter a place in which there is a picture or a dog. This teaches us to be mindful of our surroundings and to avoid places where we may be exposed to things that are forbidden in Islam such as pictures or dogs. We should also remember to be patient if someone we are expecting does not arrive on time; it could be for any number of reasons beyond their control.
