Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning of this hadith is that when a person begins to love someone, neither do that person's faults become apparent to him, nor does he hear of that person's flaws; rather, he is always seen singing that person's praises. A Muslim should never deviate from the path of moderation and balance.
