The stronger believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believerالمؤمن القوي خير وأحب إلى الله من المؤمن الضعيف
Sunan Ibn Majah 4168Sahih (Darussalam)
What is the meaning of this hadith, and does it have a continuation?

Answer:
Yes, it is a valid hadith. The hadith is valid. The believer who is strong in his faith, strong in his faith,
is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believerخير وأحب إلى الله من المؤمن الضعيف
Sunan Ibn Majah 4168Sahih (Darussalam)
in his faith, so the one with strong faith is better than the one with weak faith. Likewise, physical strength; if the believer’s physical strength is such that Allah benefits from it, he strives in the path of Allah. What about the weak one who is unable to strive and work? However, the primary principle is that strength and weakness are determined by faith; that is the primary principle.
