عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:
«الْيَهُودُ مَغْضُوبٌ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَالنَّصَارَى ضُلَّالٌ».

‘Adiyy ibn Hātim reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"The Jews incurred Allah's wrath, and the Christians went astray."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by At-Termedhy] - [Sunan At-Termedhy - 2954]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that the Jews are people who incurred Allah's wrath because they knew the truth but did not apply it. The Christians are people who went astray because they acted without knowledge.
Benefits from the Hadith
- Combining knowledge and action guarantees safety from the path of those who incurred Allah's wrath as well as those who went astray.
- Warning against the path adopted by the Jews and Christians and calling to adhere to the straight path, which is Islam.
- Both the Jews and the Christians have gone astray and have incurred Allah's wrath; however, incurring Allah's wrath is the Jews' most distinct characteristic, whereas the Christians' most distinct characteristic is their misguidance.
