Explanation

Explanation of the hadith

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that Allah Almighty dislikes people who are given to tough quarreling, those who refuse to submit to the truth and try to repel it with their argumentation, or they engage in rightful arguments. Still, they do so in an immoderate manner or without knowledge.
