EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, which was narrated by Ibn Abbas, emphasizes the importance of being kind and generous to others. It teaches us that we should always be compassionate towards those around us, no matter who they are or what their circumstances may be. We should strive to show kindness in our words and actions, as well as in our thoughts. Additionally, we should also strive to be generous with our resources - whether it is money or time - so that we can help those who are less fortunate than ourselves. By doing this, we will not only benefit them but also ourselves spiritually.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said “He who has been endowed with kindness has been endowed with good” [Sahih Muslim]. This means that when someone shows kindness towards another person or creature, they will receive blessings from Allah SWT in return for their good deed. Furthermore, the Prophet ﷺ said “The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit to people” [Sunan Abu Dawud]. This means that those who are generous and kind towards others will be rewarded by Allah SWT for their efforts in helping others.
