Arba'un 41 — none believes until his desire follows what I brought

الأربعون 41 — لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يكون هواه تبعاً لما جئت به

The hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As that the Messenger of God said 'none of you believes until his desire is brought to follow what I have brought' — the forty-first of al-Nawawi's Forty and of Ibn Rajab's commentary, which al-Nawawi graded hasan sahih, saying 'we narrated it in the Book of al-Hujja with a sound isnad' — meaning Abu al-Fath Nasr ibn Ibrahim al-Maqdisi al-Shafi'i's *al-Hujja ala tarik al-mahajja*, a work on the principles of religion by the rules of the hadith folk; Abu Nu'aym included it in his *Arba'in*, conditioned on transmitters agreed trustworthy, through al-Tabarani from Abu Zayd Abd al-Rahman ibn Hatim al-Maradi from Nu'aym ibn Hammad from Abd al-Wahhab al-Thaqafi from Hisham ibn Hassan from Muhammad ibn Sirin from Uqba ibn Aws from Abdullah ibn Amr, with the addition 'it does not deviate from it'; Ibn Abi Asim's *al-Sunna* carries it through Ibn Wara' from Nu'aym ibn Hammad from Abd al-Wahhab al-Thaqafi from 'one of our shaykhs, Hisham or another' from Ibn Sirin without the addition; Abu Musa al-Madini noted the hadith is disputed over Nu'aym; and Ibn Rajab held grading it sound very remote for several reasons, among them that Nu'aym ibn Hammad alone narrates it (Jami' al-Ulum wal-Hikam pp. 824–830).
