Angels were
given intellect without desires. Men were given both intellect and desires.
Cattles were given desires without intellect.
So the man
whose intellect takes over his desires, is with the angels, and the man whose
desires takes over his intellect is like the cattle!
Mentioned by
Ibn ul-Qayyim, in “Uddat us-Saabireen (37)” from Qataadah, and in “Madaarij
us-Saalikeen (2/352)” from one of the Salaf.
Likewise by
Ibn Taymiyyah too, as mentioned in “Majmoo’ ul-Fataawaa (4/351)”. Read the
arabic text for complete statement and more insight!
