EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the Prophet Abraham, who was a great prophet and leader in his time. He is known for his obedience to Allah and his willingness to do whatever Allah asked of him. In this hadith, we learn that even though he was eighty years old, he still circumcised himself with an adze. This shows us that no matter how old we are, we should always strive to obey Allah's commands and be willing to do what is right even if it may be difficult or uncomfortable for us. It also teaches us that age should not be a barrier when it comes to fulfilling our religious obligations as Muslims.

This hadith also serves as an example of how important circumcision is in Islam; it is one of the five pillars of faith and must be done by all male Muslims before they reach puberty or adulthood. It is seen as a sign of purity and cleanliness, which are essential values in Islam. Furthermore, this hadith shows us that even though circumcision can sometimes be painful or uncomfortable, it should still be done out of obedience to Allah's commands and for the sake of our own spiritual growth and development as Muslims.
