Nu'aym ibn Hammad

نعيم بن حماد

Nu'aym ibn Hammad, a narrator in the chain of 'none of you believes until his desire follows what I have brought' — the forty-first hadith of the Forty — between Abd al-Wahhab al-Thaqafi and Abd al-Rahman ibn Hatim al-Maradi and Ibn Wara'; the memoriser Abu Musa al-Madini said 'this hadith is disputed over Nu'aym', the chain also running 'one of our shaykhs — Hisham or another — told us'; and Ibn Rajab held grading it sound very remote for reasons including that Nu'aym ibn Hammad alone narrates it (Jami' al-Ulum wal-Hikam pp. 824–825).

Vain desire (hawa)

Hawa in the forty-first hadith of the Forty is the soul's inclination that must be made subject to revelation: 'none of you believes until his desire is brought to follow what I have brought' — following vain desire is the opposite of following the Messenger, and a condition of faith is that the soul's bent be made a follower of the Law, not followed; from it grow the corruption of opinion ruling alone and the preferring of appetite over proof (Jami' al-Ulum wal-Hikam p. 824).
