00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,879
A hadith and commentary.

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:09,019
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

3
00:00:09,019 --> 00:00:13,279
"The strong believer is better than the weak believer,"

4
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:16,469
"yet there is good in both."

5
00:00:16,469 --> 00:00:18,760
Commentary:

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,760
Reflect on how even the weak believer possesses goodness,

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,760
as stated by the Prophet, peace be upon him.

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,760
"Yet there is good in both."

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,760
For the believer, by virtue of their faith alone,

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,759
is attributed to goodness.

11
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:37,759
This is because faith is of immense significance in the sight of Allah.

12
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:43,759
Allah the Exalted has spoken of those who prefer the disbelievers over the believers,

13
00:00:43,759 --> 00:00:50,759
“Hast thou not seen those unto whom a portion of the Scripture hath been given, how they believe in idols and false deities, and how they say of those (idolaters) who disbelieve: "These are more rightly guided than those who believe"?” (4:51)

14
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:54,759
and He condemned them for that and threatened them with punishment.
