It is one of those meta-level hadith, that talks about right and wrong at a very abstract level. And yet it captures the truth.<br /><br />http://www.hadithcollection.com/an-nawawis-forty-hadith/631-an-nawawi-hadith-number-027--the-authority-of-wabisa-bin-mabad.html<br /><br />Nawawi's Forty Hadith, An Nawawi Hadith Number 027 <br />The Authority Of Wabisa bin Mabad<br />I came to the messenger of Allah and he said: "You have come to ask about righteousness ?" . I said:" Yes." He said: "Consult your heart. Righteousness is that about which the soul feels tranquil and the heart feels tranquil, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in the soul and moves to and from in the breast even though people again and again have given you their legal opinion [in its favor]."<br /><br />The speaker’s point was that this hadith shows that Islam is from our fitra. So its truth is based on our nature. When we approach Islam with an open mind we see it reflect back to us facts that we know in our hearts to be true.<br /><br />So to answer the question of what is truth, the speaker might say, your heart already knows truth. But it is clouded over with illusions and confusion. When it sees the truth it senses its truthfulness. Those whose hearts are clear see it.Asimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141500729962703817noreply@blogger.com
