Explanation of the term: (Islam) in the two hadiths: (Blessed is the one who was guided to Islam) and (He has truly succeeded who submitted to Islam).

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Before we move on to a third hadith, which is roughly the same in meaning as the previous two, I must pause briefly on the term Islam in the first hadith:
Blessed is the one who was guided to Islam. طوبى لِمَن هُدِيَ للإسلام
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 67:30
, and in the second hadith:
Who submitted to Islam مَن أسلَمَ
.
Submitted to Islam means guided to Islam; so in this hadith there is a clear indication that if a person combines these two blessings—the spiritual, metaphysical blessing, which is being guided to Islam, and the other, material blessing, by which he lives for Islam—then blessed is this person who was guided to Islam and was provided with a sufficient livelihood, or was content with what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) provided him.
