Be careful when making decisions, think about what our predecessors have done in similar situations, be mindful of our actions and make sure they are in line with Islamic teachings and values.

This hadith is about how Umar bin al Khattab refused to take charity from non-Muslims during his pilgrimage. The nobles of Syria offered him their wealth as a form of charity, which would have purified them, but he declined because it was something that the two before him had not done. He wanted to ask the Muslims first before making any decisions. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful when making decisions and think about what our predecessors have done in similar situations. We should also be mindful of our actions and make sure they are in line with Islamic teachings and values.
