Question
Is the following a Hadith?
“When one of you does something, Allah loves that you do it with excellence/thoroughly”
Answer
Yes, the above is a Hadith which is recorded by Imam Abu Ya’la and Imam Tabarani (rahimahumallah).
(Musnad Abu Ya’la, Hadith: 4386 and Al Mu’jamul Awsat, Hadith: 901)
The Hadith is suitable to quote, despite it’s slight weakness.
