The Meaning of the Hadith: "No person raises his hand while he is a believer"

Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: a person raises his hand while he is a believer. Is this hadith authentic? And did he not notice the faith of the person in the hadith?

Answer:
Do you have any doubt about the authenticity of this hadith? The hadith is authentic among the Muslims. The meaning of "no person raises his hand while he is a believer" is that he is a believer with complete faith. The intent is to negate the perfection of faith, not to negate all faith. What enters into faith is not among the causes of Islam or the major sins, but it is not befitting of faith; faith is befitting of faith. So faith does not sit down when he sits down while he is a believer, meaning while he is complete in faith. Rather, this is befitting of his faith. So the negation may be for the loss of faith, or it may be for the perfection of faith. This is of the second type, the negation of perfection, the perfection of what is obligatory, and the perfection of what is recommended. Yes.
