(1) His statement: “Part of the excellence of a person’s Islam…”: An-Nawawi said: This is one of the Hadiths upon which Islam revolves. Abu Dawud said: There are four: The first is Nu’man ibn Bashir’s Hadith: “The lawful is clear, the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters unknown to most.” The second: “Part of the excellence of a person’s Islam is abandoning what does not concern him.” The third: “A believer is not truly a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” The fourth: “Actions are judged by intentions.” Alternatively, instead of the third: “Be indifferent to the world, and Allah will love you; be indifferent to what people possess, and they will love you.” [As stated in Al-Mirqat]

(۱) قوله: من حسن إسلام إلخ : قال النووي: هذا أحد الأحاديث التي عليها مدار الإسلام، قال أبو داود: وهي أربعة، الأول: حديث نعمان بن بشير: الحلال بين والحرام بين وبينهما مشتبهات لا يعلمهن». الثاني: من حسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه». الثالث: لا يكون المؤمن مؤمنا حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه. الرابع: الأعمال بالنيات». وقيل: بدل الثالث: ازهد في الدنيا يحبك الله، وازهد فيها في أيدي الناس يحبك الناس». كذا في «المرقاة».
