Is what was forbidden in the noble Prophetic tradition, a legal prohibition, only disobedience to mothers, burying daughters alive, and "refusing [to give what is due] and demanding [what is not due]," and that "gossiping," excessive questioning, and wasting money are disliked to the extent of Karahat Tanzeeh?
The intent behind the word "disliked" (karahah) in the hadith is prohibition (tahreem), not a minor dislike (karahat tanzeeh), because wasting money is forbidden, not merely disliked in a minor sense. This is supported by other hadiths that use the word "displeased" or "angered" (sakhet) instead of "disliked." Al-Qurtubi rejected the opinion that "disliked" here means a minor dislike, explaining the shift to the word "disliked" by stating that the first three forbidden acts are more egregious and greater.
