Showing kindness and compassion towards others

This hadith is a reminder from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that we should be merciful and compassionate towards others if we want to receive the same in return from Allah. It is a warning that if we are not kind and forgiving, then our own hearts will remain closed off from the mercy of God. We must remember that it is only through His grace and kindness that we can find true peace and contentment in this life. Therefore, it is important for us to extend our own mercy towards others so that we may receive His blessings in return.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us how to practice mercy by showing us examples of his own behavior. He was known for his patience, understanding, and forgiveness even when faced with difficult situations or people who were unkind or disrespectful towards him. By following his example, we can learn how to be merciful even when it may seem difficult or impossible at times.
