Benefits and Issues:
Just as the celebration of Mawlid al-Nabi is derived from this hadith, in the same way, one could extract the celebration of the Revelation of the Qur'an and, by organizing an Eid for the Revelation of the Qur'an, make suitable arrangements for one's livelihood, because the month of Ramadan is, in particular, a month of compassion, sympathy, and charity.

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
In this hadith, the asceticism, piety, and God-consciousness (taqwa) of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) are mentioned.
It is understood from this that a person's state and condition are not always the same,
rather, they continue to change.
Therefore, whenever a person becomes heedless, he should engage abundantly in the remembrance of Allah,
and the state in which heedlessness overcomes him should not be considered as hypocrisy (nifaq),
because it is not possible for a person to always obligate himself to remain in the same state and condition.
Furthermore, it is also understood from this that even the faith (iman) of a single individual fluctuates from time to time, increasing and decreasing.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) were extremely cautious regarding their faith and the states of their hearts, and they feared that due to some unintentional mistake, their ranks might be diminished.

➋ The states of the heart continue to change.

➌ Fulfilling the rights of one's wife and children, and being engaged in worldly matters within the bounds of the Shari'ah, is something that is legislatively required.

➍ Man has been declared superior to the angels (in certain respects). The reason for this is that man is surrounded by such circumstances that distract him from Allah, yet despite this, he remembers Allah and worships Him.
