Be mindful of your actions and focus on what is beneficial for yourself and others instead of engaging in activities that do not bring any benefit or reward in this life or hereafter.

The Prophet Muhammad taught us to be mindful of our actions and to avoid certain activities that may lead us astray. In this hadith, he prohibited meeting traders on the way as it could lead to unnecessary spending or other activities that are not beneficial for one's spiritual journey. This hadith teaches us to be mindful of our actions and how we spend our time while traveling. We should focus on what is beneficial for ourselves and others instead of engaging in activities that do not bring any benefit or reward in this life or the hereafter.
