These two hadeeth are only short so have been grouped into a single lesson. Please read the Explanation of Nawawi's 40 Hadeeths by Shyakh Al-Uthaymeen, available in English. If you are not memorising the hadeeths, then you might wish to skip the first two questions.

6.

If a person does not do one of the three things mentioned in the hadeeth as being from eemaan (true faith), for example treating the guest generously, then what can we say about that person?
- A.
  
  He certainly has perfect eemaan (belief)
- B.
  
  He certainly lacks all traces of eemaan (true belief) and must be a disbeliever
- C.
  
  He may have characteristics of eemaan (true faith) and kufr (disbelief)
Correct Answer
C. He may have characteristics of eemaan (true faith) and kufr (disbelief)

Explanation
If a person does not fulfill one of the three things mentioned in the hadeeth as being from eemaan, it does not necessarily mean that they lack all traces of eemaan and are a disbeliever. It is possible for them to still possess some characteristics of eemaan (true faith) while also displaying characteristics of kufr (disbelief). This suggests that their level of eemaan may not be perfect, but it does not completely negate their belief.

7.

  His rationale and sanity may go away.
- B.
  
  He may do things he comes to regret later on.
- C.
  
  He automatically develops enthusiasm from acts of worship.
- D.
  
  He will show his good characteristic of manliness.
Correct Answer(s)
A. His rationale and sanity may go away.
B. He may do things he comes to regret later on.

Explanation
When a person becomes angry, their rationale and sanity may go away, causing them to make irrational decisions or act impulsively. They may also do things in the heat of the moment that they later regret. These are both negative consequences of anger. The other options, such as developing enthusiasm from acts of worship or showing good characteristics of manliness, are not directly related to the negative consequences of anger.

Correct Answer(s)
A. He should consider the characteristics and condition of the student before answering.
E. He should tailor his answer such that he might answer someone else in a different fashion.

Explanation
The correct answer is that the teacher should consider the characteristics and condition of the student before answering and should tailor his answer such that he might answer someone else in a different fashion. This means that the teacher should take into account the individual needs, abilities, and circumstances of each student when giving a verdict or advice. The teacher should not give the same verdict to everyone but rather adjust their response based on the specific characteristics and conditions of each student.
