In the hadith: “Whoever Allah wishes good for, He grants him understanding of the religion,” does this refer to 'aqidah or to the rulings of the Shari'ah?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) , does it mean learning the rulings of the Shari'ah, or learning the rulings and 'aqidah?

Answer:
It means all of it. He granted him understanding of the religion; he did not say he granted him understanding of the rulings only. He said he granted him understanding of the religion, and the religion encompasses 'aqidah, action, manners, and morals. The religion is comprehensive. Yes.
