EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of giving without expecting anything in return. It was narrated by Asma' bint Abi Bakr, who was one of the closest companions of Prophet Muhammad. The Prophet said that if we give something to someone, we should not count it or expect something back from them because Allah will count what He gives us and reward us accordingly. This teaches us that generosity and selflessness are important values that can bring us closer to Allah and His blessings. We should be grateful for whatever He has given us and strive to give more without any expectations or conditions attached.
