EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the obligation of paying tithes, or zakat. According to this hadith, Muslims are not required to pay tithes, while Jews and Christians are. This is because zakat is a form of charity that only applies to those who follow Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that it was important for people of different faiths to be treated fairly and with respect. He also taught that it was important for people of all faiths to help each other in times of need. By requiring non-Muslims to pay tithes, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ensured that everyone would have access to resources when they needed them most.
