Question:
He says in the hadith:Sahih Muslim 1037a
Answer:
Yes, this is an authentic hadith. It was narrated by Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1037a The fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) referred to here is understanding: understanding the commands and prohibitions, and knowing what they call for and what they order. This is fiqh. Fiqh is understanding. In language, fiqh means understanding, and here it means understanding the rulings of the Shari'ah as they indicate. So one of the signs of goodness in a person is that Allah grants him success in understanding his religion. Yes.

He upon whom Allah intends to bestow goodness, He confers upon him an insight in religion
