The ḥadith bears witness to the wisdom of the Sacred Law in assigning matters their proper place and taking circumstances into account. Here the Prophet ﷺ differentiated between the traveller and the resident, granting the traveller a longer period than the resident, in deference to the traveller’s condition, hardship, and need for an extended concession—unlike the settled resident who is at ease. Allah is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

It likewise illustrates the Law’s ease and graciousness, and its attentiveness to people’s varying states of strength, weakness, and necessity.
