The Permissibility of Listening to Prophetic Hadith in Any Place

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. He says: Considering that I spend a long time in the car, I listen to various religious programs on the radio or via recorded tapes. Sometimes I feel a strong desire to listen to the noble Prophetic hadith without explanation, interpretation, or anything else. One of my brothers in Allah told me that it is not permissible for me to feel this way except for the Book of Allah, and that I have no right to this feeling regarding the noble Prophetic hadith. I ask you to guide me on what he said. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is empty and invalid talk. It is the talk of an ignorant person, so do not listen to it. Continue listening to the hadith and desiring it, because it is the speech of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who does not speak from desire. It is recommended to listen to the Noble Qur'an, to worship through its recitation and listening to it, and likewise to listen to the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to benefit from it and to follow him (peace and blessings be upon him). Indeed, that is a means to beneficial knowledge and righteous action. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has made it obligatory upon us to obey Him and obey His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is not possible to obey the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) except by listening to his hadith, his commands, his prohibitions, his advice, his admonitions, and his guidance. Yes.
