Be kind and merciful towards animals . Take advantage of animal abilities when necessary .

This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad giving permission to use dogs for herding, hunting and watching cultivated lands. This means that people are allowed to use dogs in these activities as long as they are not causing any harm or distress. The Prophet Muhammad was very compassionate towards animals, so this permission was given out of kindness and mercy towards them. He also wanted people to be able to benefit from the skills of their canine companions in order to make their lives easier. This hadith teaches us that we should be kind and merciful towards animals, while also taking advantage of their abilities when necessary.
