Helping others in need regardless of what Allah commands .

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ commanded his followers to donate a certain amount of money or food during Ramadan called Sadaqatul Fitr. This donation is meant for those who are in need and can be given before Eid prayer. Later on, Allah also commanded Muslims to pay Zakah which is a charity that must be paid annually by those who have enough wealth. When this commandment was revealed, the Prophet did not tell us whether we should continue giving Sadaqatul Fitr or not but people continued doing so anyway. This hadith teaches us that we should always help those in need regardless of what Allah commands us because it is our duty as Muslims. It also shows us how generous and kind the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was towards others even if they were not part of his community or religion.
