Narrated Abud Darda: The Prophet ﷺ said: Your love for a thing causes blindness and deafness.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
This narration is weak.
However, this condition is a factual reality among common people.
When an idea dominates their minds,
then if anyone says anything contrary to it, they are not affected by it.
However, the people of faith, by the grace of Allah, remain protected from such excess.
They do not go to extremes in love, nor in enmity.
