Showing mercy and forgiveness even in times of war is a sign of strength rather than weakness .

This hadith speaks about the mercy and forgiveness that was shown by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ towards the prisoners of Badr. Even though these prisoners were considered 'filthy people', he still showed them mercy due to the intercession of Al-Mutim bin Adi. This hadith teaches us that we should always show mercy and forgiveness, even in times of war, as it is a sign of strength rather than weakness. It also shows us how powerful intercession can be when it comes from a righteous person. We should strive to be like Al-Mutim bin Adi who was able to bring about such great change with his words alone.
