Listen for call to prayer before attacking enemies ; Show mercy & kindness towards those who believe in God ; Respect others' beliefs & practices ; Protect oneself & others from danger .

This hadith is about the mercy and kindness that Prophet Muhammad showed towards those who recite the Islamic declaration of faith. In this hadith, Anas b. Malik reported that whenever the Prophet was about to attack an enemy at dawn, he would listen for a call to prayer or adhan. If he heard it, then he would stop his attack and if not then he would continue with it. On one occasion, while attacking an enemy at dawn, they heard a man reciting “Allah is the Greatest” followed by “I testify that there is no god but Allah” which are part of the shahada or Islamic declaration of faith. Upon hearing this recitation from afar, Prophet Muhammad remarked that this person was following their fitra or nature/instinct and has come out from Hellfire due to their belief in Allah as well as His oneness. When they looked closer they found out that it was a goat herder who was reciting these words in order to protect his herd from danger! This shows us how much mercy and kindness our beloved prophet showed towards those who believed in Allah even if they were not Muslims yet!
