And by Allah, I do not know that he loves Allah and His Messenger, meaning what I know; so here it is not a negation but a connective.

The Shaykh : Then he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6780, meaning what I know. So here it is not a negation but a connective, meaning that what I know about this man is that he loves Allah and his Messenger, but his self may overcome him until he drinks intoxicants.
In this hadith is an indication regarding the deeds of the hearts, and that the deeds of the hearts are greater than the deeds of the limbs. What was in this man's heart of love for Allah and His Messenger brought the Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) to this state.
In it is evidence that a man may commit a sin while loving Allah and His Messenger, because there is another puller, which is desire and the self, that may overcome a man despite his love for Allah and His Messenger, so he falls into sin. But he quickly denies it within himself and then returns to what pleases Allah (Mighty and Majestic), because whoever loves someone must strive for their pleasure by every means. So the one who loves Allah must strive for what pleases Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
In it is evidence that one who drinks intoxicants does not exit the religion. What is its proof?
That he loves Allah and His Messenger, unlike whom?
The Khawarij and the Mu'tazilah.
The Khawarij are extremists; they say that the one who drinks intoxicants is a disbeliever who has exited Islam and entered into disbelief. The Mu'tazilah are clever; they said: He is not in disbelief nor in faith; he has exited faith but is not in disbelief. So they established a station between the station of faith and the station of disbelief. This is undoubtedly an innovated statement that contradicts the consensus of the Muslims, and indeed contradicts the Qur'an[At-Taghabun 64:2]; there is no third category.
The hypocrite is from the category of disbelievers, as the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:8].
for by Allah, I know for he loves Allah and His Apostle.
