عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ يَزُورُ أَخًا لَهُ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي قَرْيَةٍ أُخْرَى فَأَرْصَدَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَدْرَجَتِهِ مَلَكًا فَلَمَّا مَرَّ بِهِ قَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ قَالَ أُرِيدُ فُلَانًا قَالَ لِقَرَابَةٍ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلِنِعْمَةٍ لَهُ عِنْدَكَ تَرُدُّهَا قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلِمَ تَأْتِيهِ قَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُ فِي اللَّهِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكَ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّكَ بِحُبِّكَ إِيَّاهُ فِيهِ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man set out to visit a brother of his for the sake of Allah; he lived in another village. Allah Almighty appointed an angel on his way. When he passed by him, the angel asked: Where are you intending to go? He replied: I intend to visit so-and-so. The angel asked: Is it because of some kinship between you? He replied: No. The angel asked: Is there any favor he has done for you for which you are going to him? He replied: No. He asked: Then why are you going to him? He replied: Indeed, I love him for the sake of Allah Almighty. The angel said: In fact, I am a messenger to you from Allah Almighty, and I have come to inform you that because of your love for that man, Allah Almighty also loves you.
