EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of seeking refuge in Allah from niggardliness and old age. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to make supplications to Allah for protection against these two things as they can be a source of harm or difficulty for us. Niggardliness is an attitude of being stingy or miserly with one's wealth while old age can bring physical weakness and other difficulties that come with it. By making this supplication we are asking Allah to protect us from these two things so that we may live our lives in peace and comfort.

The values taught by this hadith are humility, gratitude, contentment, trust in God's mercy and protection as well as reliance on Him alone for all our needs. We should always remember that no matter what situation we find ourselves in or how much wealth we have accumulated over time; it is only through the grace of God that any good comes into our lives so it is important to remain humble before Him at all times. Additionally, we should also be grateful for whatever blessings He has bestowed upon us instead of becoming greedy or ungrateful towards them which can lead to niggardly behavior if left unchecked.

Finally, this hadith teaches us the importance of contentment with whatever life brings our way whether good or bad because ultimately everything comes from God who knows best what is best for His servants even if it doesn't seem like it at first glance. We must also trust in His mercy and protection when faced with difficult situations such as old age which can bring physical weakness but also spiritual strength if accepted with patience and faithfulness towards Him alone!
