Fulfill your obligations even if it is not in the traditional way

This hadith is about fulfilling obligations. It was related by Malik that he heard from Al-Maqburi that Abu Hurayra was asked whether a man who had to free a slave could free an illegitimate child to fulfill that obligation. Abu Hurayra said yes, and this would give satisfaction for him. This hadith teaches us the importance of fulfilling our obligations and how we can do so even if it is not in the traditional way. It also shows us the importance of being satisfied with what we have done and not worrying about what others may think or say about it. We should always strive to do our best in whatever situation we are in and be content with our efforts regardless of how others perceive them.
