Treating all prophets with equal respect and appreciation without making any distinction between them .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about respecting all of the prophets that Allah has sent to us. It teaches us that we should not make any distinctions between them, and treat them all with equal respect. We should remember that they were all sent by Allah, and so they are all equally important in His eyes. The Prophet Muhammad was also teaching us to be humble and recognize our own limitations when it comes to understanding the greatness of each prophet's mission from God. He was reminding us that we cannot judge one prophet as being better than another because only God knows their true worthiness in His sight.

This hadith also encourages us to have a sense of unity amongst ourselves as believers, regardless of our differences in race or culture or language or background. By recognizing the equality amongst prophets, we can learn to appreciate each other's unique gifts and talents without feeling threatened by them or trying to put one another down for being different from ourselves.
