The meaning of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) to the Companion: “Consult your heart”
In the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “Consult your heart” Does this hadith apply to everyone?
No.
This is not done by everyone; rather, it is done by those who are upon sound fitrah (the innate natural disposition).And the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): “Consult your heart” is not for everyone; for what would happen if an open sinner consulted his heart?The questioner: He would follow his desires and commit open sin. The Shaykh: His heart would advise him that this is good, that this sin is good.But the intended meaning is: [This applies to] whoever is sound in fitrah (the innate natural disposition).
Or is it said: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) knew that this man was upon fitrah (the innate natural disposition) and said: “Consult your heart”, addressing him alone.
