Arsalahu bi-l-ḥaqqi bashīran wa nadhīran bayna yadayyi-s-sā‘ah. Man yuṭi‘i-llāha wa Rasūlahu fa-qad rashad, wa man ya‘ṣihimā fa-innahu lā yaḍurru illā nafsah, wa lā yaḍurru-llāha shay’ā.
Context
That is the wording of one of Abū Dāwūd’s narrations. According to another report [4]., after saying “And His Messenger” he also said: “Allah sent him with the truth as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner before the Hour. Whoever obeys Allah and His Prophet has been guided; whoever disobeys them harms none but himself, nor does he harm Allah at all.” [5]. At-Tirmidhī says that this is a ḥasan hadith.
