The Dispraise of Al-Hawaa - Part 1 of 3 - Al Quran wa Sunnah

looked at it, and found that it was surrounded with disliked and undesirable
things, then came to Him and said: By Your Might, I am afraid that no one will
enter it. He, [Allaah] then said: Go to An-Naar and look at it and at [the
things] which I have prepared therein for its people. [He went] and found that it
was heaped up, one part upon another, then he came to Him and said: By Your
Might, no one who hears of it will enter it. He gave a command respecting it, and
it was surrounded with desirable things and passions and then said: Go back to it.
He went and said: By Your Might, I am afraid that no one will remain who does
not enter it. 61
25. It is feared that he who follows Al-Hawaa may become altogether detached from
Eemaan (Faith) while being unaware. In fact, it has been confirmed that the Prophet
said:

61 Reported by At-Tirmithee who said that it is "hasan-saheeh".- It is also reported
by An-Nasaa'ee and Abu Daawood. Shaykh Al-Albaanee concluded that it is
authentic in Saheeh Al-Jaami' #5210 and in Mishkaatul Masaabeeh #5696. The
terminology "hasan-saheeh " used by At-Tirmithee refers to one of two situations
regarding the hadeeth:
1-That it is reported through one way of narration and there is a disagreement
regarding the status of one narrator in the chain: Some consider him sound while
others consider him "hasan,"
2-It is reported via two chains of narration, one "Hasan" and the other "saheeh".
(See Al-Haafith Ibn Hajar's An-Nukal 'Alaa Nuzhatin-Nalhar fee Tawdeeh
Nukhbatul-Fikar (Dammaam, KSA: Daar Ibnul-Jawzee, checked by Shaykh 'Ali
Hasan 'Abdul Hameed Al-Halabee Al-Atharee, 1414/1994)], pp. 93-94.
The "hasan" (fine) is itself authentic but does not reach the level of authenticity of
the "saheeh".
