00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:03.879
A hadith and commentary.

00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:09.019
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:13.279
"The strong believer is better than the weak believer,"

00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.469
"yet there is good in both."

00:00:16.469 --> 00:00:18.760
Commentary:

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.760
Reflect on how even the weak believer possesses goodness,

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.760
as stated by the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.760
"Yet there is good in both."

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.760
For the believer, by virtue of their faith alone,

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.759
is attributed to goodness.

00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.759
This is because faith is of immense significance in the sight of Allah.

00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:43.759
Allah the Exalted has spoken of those who prefer the disbelievers over the believers,

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)

00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.759
and He condemned them for that and threatened them with punishment.
