EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of sharing food and not wasting it. It teaches us that even if there are only a few people, they can still share what they have to make sure everyone has enough to eat. This hadith also encourages us to be generous with our resources, as we should always be willing to share what we have with others in need. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us that no matter how much or how little we have, it is important to use our resources wisely so that everyone can benefit from them.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us through this hadith that when we are blessed with something, whether it is food or anything else, then we should use it in a way which benefits others too. We should never waste any of our blessings but instead share them with those who need them most. By doing so, not only will those who receive benefit from our generosity but also Allah will reward us for being generous and kind-hearted towards others.
