EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of providing evidence and testimony when needed. It teaches us that the best witness is someone who comes forward with their testimony before they are asked for it. This shows that they are honest and trustworthy in providing evidence and information to help others. It also teaches us to be proactive in helping others by coming forward with our knowledge or experience when needed. We should not wait to be asked for our help but instead offer it willingly and without hesitation.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was teaching his companions about the importance of honesty and truthfulness in providing evidence or testimony when needed. He taught them that those who come forward without being asked are more reliable than those who wait until they are asked for their help or knowledge. By doing this we can show our commitment to justice and truthfulness which is a great virtue in Islam as well as other religions around the world.
