4202. It was narrated that Tamīm Ad-Dārī said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Religion is sincerity (An-Naṣīḥah).’ They said: ‘To whom, O Messenger of Allāh?’ He said: "To Allâh, to His Book, to His Messenger, to the imâms of the Muslims, and to their common folk." (Sahîh)
4197 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ سُهَيْلَ بْنَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ قُلْتُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنْ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِيكَ قَالَ: أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ الَّذِي، حَدَّثَ أَبِي، حَدَّثَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ يُقَالُ لَهُ: عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا الدِّينُ النَّصِيحَةُ» قَالُوا: لِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «لِلَّهِ وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ، وَلِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ»

An-Naṣīḥah implies sincere advice to the truth and what is best. If there is no sincerity, polytheism, hypocrisy, ostentation, and treachery will emerge. And sincerity to Allâh is that one worships only Allâh, Most High, calls upon Him only, reposes trust in Him alone, and fears Him alone. Sincerity to the Book of Allâh is that one acts upon it and respects it. Sincerity to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ is that one obeys him, loves him more than any other person, and is prepared to lay down his life for the sake of compliance with his commands and cares for no one in his stead. Sincerity with the rulers consists in pledging one's allegiance to them, remaining loyal to them, obeying them as far as possible, staying within the limits of the Divine law, not rising in rebellion against them, and giving them good advice. And sincerity with common Muslims is that one remains their well-wisher, does not deceive them, does not cause them any harm, keeps others away from his own evil, and gives them good advice.
