Must one accept all the hadiths of the Prophet, and is the intellect to be the judge over them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, if I hear a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and my intellect does not grasp its meaning and does not accept it, what is required of me? Are all the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) subject to belief? Or is that limited to what agrees with the intellect and is accepted by it?

Answer:
This is a false statement. Any hadith that is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) must be believed in and affirmed, whether your intellect understands it or not. As for what is not authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it is not permissible to believe in it until it is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
