Obey God’s commands; Do righteous deeds; Strive towards selflessness; Be mindful of your actions; Do what is beneficial both in this world and hereafter.

This hadith was narrated by Malik ibn Anas from Yazid ibn Khusayfa who heard it from As-Sa'ib ibn Yazid who heard it from Sufyan Ibn Abi Zuhayr who was among the companions of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. In this hadith, the Prophet warned against keeping a pet dog that is not used for hunting or herding sheep as it will reduce one's reward for their good deeds each day. This teaches us to be mindful of our actions and how they can affect our rewards in life hereafter. We should strive to do only those things which are beneficial to us in this world and in the hereafter. We should also remember that Allah rewards us for our good deeds so we should always strive to do what is right even if no one else knows about it because Allah knows all things and He will reward us accordingly.
