Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Is the saying of the ProphetMishkat al-Masabih 167Isnād Da'īf (Zubair `Aliza'i) established?
Answer:
This hadith, Imam al-Nawawi authenticated it in his *Arba'in*. The hadith in *al-Hujjah* from the issues of *al-Muhaj*, whereas the other hadith is that it does not reach the level of authenticity. The majority hold that it does not reach the level of authenticity, but its meaning is correct. The meaning of the hadith is correct and it agrees with other evidence. That is because they [Muhammad 47:9], [Muhammad 47:28]. So if the desire contradicts, he says: I bear witness that they. For they do not submit.
And whoever places his desire before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there is no doubt that he is blameworthy and he will be in error, and he is to be feared of disbelief. He is to be feared of disbelief if he places his desire first, taking his desire as his god,[Al-Furqan 25:43] This is a prohibition of what Allah the Mighty and Majestic denies. This is what you stand upon or rely on [Al-Jathiyah 45:23] meaning [Al-Qasas 28:50] the hadith bears witness that

صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يكون هواه تبعا لما جئت بهAnswer:
This hadith, Imam al-Nawawi authenticated it in his *Arba'in*
And we narrated it in the book *al-Hujjah*
ورويناه في كتاب الحجةthey disliked what Allah revealed, so He rendered worthless their deeds.
كَرِهُوا مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالَهُمْThat is because they followed what angered Allah and disliked [what earns] His pleasure
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اتَّبَعُوا مَا أَسْخَطَ اللَّهَ وَكَرِهُوا رِضْوَانَهُAnd whoever places his desire before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there is no doubt that he is blameworthy and he will be in error, and he is to be feared of disbelief. He is to be feared of disbelief if he places his desire first, taking his desire as his god,
Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire?
أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُ هَوَاهُHave you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge
أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ وَأَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍif they do not respond to you - then know that they only follow their [own] desires
لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَكَ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُونَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ
