Discussion of the hadith: (until his desire follows what I have brought).

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This is from the chapter of being commanded to do what is impossible, because it is sufficient for the believer to submit his desire to what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) brought. As for his desire being a follower of it, meaning in conformity with it, where is the struggle in the mind of the one struggling?
Whoever struggles against his desire for the sake of Allah من جاهد هواه لله
This hadith
The mujahid is the one who strives against his own desires for the sake of Allah. المجاهد من جاهد هواه لله
differs from the meaning of the hadith
None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself. لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه
Sahih al-Bukhari 13
Yes, it can be said that one of the highest and noblest degrees of faith is for a person to reach the point where his desire is in accordance with the rulings of the Shari'ah: forbidden, forbidden, lawful, lawful. But this is more like an illusion.

The questioner : The hadith, or rather the athar, from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) when the word of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He)
Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed for it من يعمل سوءًا يُجز به
[An-Nisa 4:123]
came down, and Abu Bakr said, "We are ruined" or something similar, and he said, "It is not so, O Abu Bakr." So this means that even Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, who is who Abu Bakr is, his desire was not a follower of what was brought.

The Shaykh : It is not possible to be commanded to do what is impossible.
