Lessons : We should think before we speak and make sure our words are kind and helpful rather than hurtful or unkind so that they bring benefit rather than harm.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that even something as simple as speaking kindly to another person can be an act of charity. He said that uttering a good word is also considered charity. This means that when we speak positively and kindly to others, it is like giving them a gift or doing something nice for them. It shows how important it is to think before we speak and make sure our words are kind and helpful rather than hurtful or unkind. We should strive to use our words in the best way possible so that they bring benefit rather than harm.
