This hadith is about the importance of obedience and following the commands of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He taught his followers that they should only do what they are capable of doing and not to overburden themselves. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for excellence in whatever we do but at the same time, we should also remember our limits and capabilities. We should never try to take on more than we can handle or push ourselves beyond our limits as this could lead to failure or even harm us physically or mentally. Instead, it is better for us to focus on doing what we can within our own capabilities so that we can achieve success without putting too much strain on ourselves.
