1926. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The religion is An-Naṣīhah" three times. They said: "O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ! For whom?" He said: "To Allāh, His Books, the A'immah of the Muslims, and their average people." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadith is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar, Tamīm Ad-Dārī, Jarīr, Ḥakīm bin Abī Yazīd from his father, and Thawbān.

Commentary
a. The Arabic word An-Nasīhah as occurring in the Hadīth means sincere, well-wishing and extending sincere help and cooperation to someone to set right his affairs.
b. An-Nasīhah for Allāh would mean having a firm belief that He is One without a partner, and is the Possessor of all the perfect Attributes. It also means not to associate to Him anything which is improper and to believe Him to be exempt from all defects or infirmities. It also means not to associate anyone or anything else in worship or servitude with Him.
c. An-Nasīhah for Allāh's Book would mean to believe from the bottom of one's heart that it is the Word of Allāh, uncreated, to rehearse it again and again, and follow the commands and guidance contained in it.
