The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that true life is none other than the life of the Hereafter in Allah's pleasure, mercy, and Paradise because the life of this world is fleeting, while the life of the Hereafter is everlasting and eternal. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) then supplicated for forgiveness, honor, and righteousness for the Ansār, who welcomed and supported the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), assisted the Emigrants, and even shared their wealth with them—as well as for the Muhājirūn, who left behind their homes and possessions seeking the bounty and pleasure of Allah.
- The Prophet's detachment from worldly life and his focus on the Hereafter.
- The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged his Ummah to renounce the perishable pleasures of worldly life.
- Highlighting the virtue of the Muhājirūn and the Ansār, as they won the Prophet's supplication for their forgiveness.
- A servant should not rejoice over what he gains from this world, for it is quick to vanish and often tainted with hardship. The true abode of permanence and stability is the Hereafter.
