EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us that when travelling in a group of three, it is important to appoint one person as the leader. This leader should be chosen based on their knowledge and experience so that they can guide the group safely and efficiently. The appointed leader should also be respected by all members of the group for their authority and decision-making abilities. By appointing a leader, everyone in the group will have an understanding of who is responsible for making decisions during their journey. Furthermore, this hadith encourages us to respect those who are placed in positions of authority over us, even if we do not agree with them or their decisions at times.
