Have peaceful intentions when taking action; use war as a means to bring justice if necessary; accept Islam if presented with it; follow teachings from prophets sent by God.

This hadith is about a battle called Bu’ath which took place in Medina before the arrival of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It was a battle between two tribes, Aus and Khazraj, who were living in Medina at that time. According to this hadith, Allah brought about this battle for the good of His Messenger ﷺ so that when he arrived in Medina, these two tribes would have already divided and their chiefs killed or wounded. This way they would be more likely to accept Islam when it was presented to them by Muhammad ﷺ. Thus this hadith teaches us that even though war is not something desirable or pleasant, sometimes it can be used as a means to bring peace and justice if it is done with good intentions.
