When Allah intends good for someone, He grants him the understanding of the religion

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that when Allah wills to do good to someone, He endows him with the understanding of His religion. He also states that he is only a distributor who distributes the sustenance, knowledge, and other things that Allah Almighty gave him, and that the true Giver is Allah, and all else are mere causes that can only bring benefit with Allah's permission. He adds that this Ummah will continue to hold onto Allah's laws and not be harmed by those who oppose them until the Hour comes.

Benefits

• The Hadīth shows the greatness and merit of the Shar‘i knowledge and its learning and urges us to seek it.
• Adherence to the truth must exist within this Ummah. If one group forsakes it, another will follow it.
• Understanding of the religion is part of Allah's intention of goodness for His servants.
• The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) only gives according to Allah's Command and His Will, and he himself possesses nothing.
