The Meaning of the Hadith: None of You Truly Believes Until His Inclination Follows What I Have Brought

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there also a connection in the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
None of you is a believer till his desire follows what I have broughtلا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يكون هواه تبعا لما جئت به
Mishkat al-Masabih 167Isnād Da'īf (Zubair `Aliza'i)
?

Answer:
First, there is some discussion regarding this hadith, but al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him), in *Riyad al-Salihin* or in *al-Arba'in al-Nawawiyyah*—in *al-Arba'in al-Nawawiyyah*—strengthened its chain of narration. It is clear in meaning that if a servant loves what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) brought and acts upon it, whether it agrees with his inclination and desire or contradicts his inclination and desire, that is because his inclination is not a standard. He may incline toward something, and it may be that you love a thing
while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for youوَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:216]
. So the believer trusts what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) brought and knows that what contradicts it is evil and harm. Yes. They.
