Strength.
0:12
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:14
"The strong believer
0:16
is better and more beloved to Allah
0:18
than the weak believer,
0:20
though there is good in both."
0:22
Recorded by Muslim.
0:24
This is a general expression
0:26
that encompasses every form of strength,
0:28
in all its goodness,
0:30
and thus it includes military strength,
0:32
physical strength,
0:34
and strength in knowledge, understanding, and faith.
0:36
Allah the Exalted said:
0:38
"O Yahya,
0:40
take the Scripture with strength."
0:42
This concept expands
0:44
to include a domain
0:46
that might not occur to a person's mind:
0:48
the strength of self-control
0:50
and mastery
0:52
over oneself during moments of anger.
0:54
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
0:56
"The strong person is not
0:58
the one who can wrestle others down;
1:00
rather, the strong person is the one who controls himself
1:02
when he is angry."
1:04
Agreed upon.
