Hadith 9446
عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِسْلَامِ أَوْسَطُ قَالُوا الصَّلَاةُ قَالَ حَسَنَةٌ وَمَا هِيَ بِهَا قَالُوا الزَّكَاةُ قَالَ حَسَنَةٌ وَمَا هِيَ بِهَا قَالُوا صِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ حَسَنٌ وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ قَالُوا الْحَجُّ قَالَ حَسَنٌ وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ قَالُوا الْجِهَادُ قَالَ حَسَنٌ وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ قَالَ إِنَّ أَوْسَطَ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ أَنْ تُحِبَّ فِي اللَّهِ وَتُبْغِضَ فِي اللَّهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Which link (i.e., good deed) of Islam is the most distinguished and exalted? The people said: Prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Prayer is also a good deed, and after that, which deed is it? The people said: Zakat. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Zakat is also good, and after that, which deed is it? They said: Fasting in Ramadan. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This deed is also good, and after that, which deed is it? They said: Hajj. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Hajj is also a good deed, and after that, which deed is it? The people said: Jihad. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jihad is also a good deed, after that, which deed is it? Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) himself said: The most distinguished and exalted link (i.e., good deed) of faith is that you love for the sake of Allah Almighty and hate for the sake of Allah Almighty.
Hadith 9447
عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ قَائِلٌ الصَّلَاةُ وَالزَّكَاةُ وَقَالَ قَائِلٌ الْجِهَادُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْحُبُّ فِي اللَّهِ وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللَّهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: Do you know which deed is most beloved to Allah Almighty? One man said: Prayer and zakat, and another said that it is jihad. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, the most beloved deed to Allah Almighty is that love is shown for the sake of Allah and hatred is held for His sake.
Hadith 9448
عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَامِرِ بْنِ وَاثِلَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُمْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْغِضُ هَذَا فِي اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَهْلُ الْمَجْلِسِ فَبِئْسَ وَاللَّهِ مَا قُلْتَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَنُنَبِّئَنَّهُ قُمْ يَا فُلَانُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَأَخْبِرْهُ قَالَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ رَسُولُهُمْ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا قَالَ فَانْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَرْتُ بِمَجْلِسٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِمْ فُلَانٌ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَرَدُّوا السَّلَامَ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزْتُهُمْ أَدْرَكَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ فُلَانًا قَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْغِضُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فِي اللَّهِ فَادْعُهُ فَسَلْهُ عَلَى مَا يُبْغِضُنِي فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَمَّا أَخْبَرَهُ الرَّجُلُ فَاعْتَرَفَ بِذَلِكَ وَقَالَ قَدْ قُلْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلِمَ تُبْغِضُهُ قَالَ أَنَا جَارُهُ وَأَنَا بِهِ خَابِرٌ وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةً قَطُّ إِلَّا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ الَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ سَلْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ رَآنِي قَطُّ أَخَّرْتُهَا عَنْ وَقْتِهَا أَوْ أَسَأْتُ الْوُضُوءَ لَهَا أَوْ أَسَأْتُ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ فِيهَا فَسَأَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَصُومُ قَطُّ إِلَّا هَذَا الشَّهْرَ الَّذِي يَصُومُهُ الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ قَالَ فَسَلْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ رَآنِي قَطُّ أَفْطَرْتُ فِيهِ أَوِ انْتَقَصْتُ مِنْ حَقِّهِ شَيْئًا فَسَأَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ يُعْطِي سَائِلًا قَطُّ وَلَا رَأَيْتُهُ يُنْفِقُ مِنْ مَالِهِ شَيْئًا فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِخَيْرٍ إِلَّا هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ الَّتِي يُؤَدِّيهَا الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ قَالَ فَسَلْهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ كَتَمْتُ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَوْ مَا كَسْتُ فِيهَا طَالِبَهَا قَالَ فَسَأَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُمْ إِنْ أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Tufail ‘Amir bin Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man passed by some people, he greeted them with salam and they replied to his salam. When he had gone ahead, one man said: By Allah! I bear enmity towards this man for the sake of Allah Almighty. The people of the gathering said: By Allah! You have said a bad thing. By Allah! We will certainly inform him. O so-and-so! Stand up and go inform him. So their messenger caught up with that person and told him the whole matter. That man turned back and went straight to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I passed by a gathering of Muslims, so-and-so was also sitting among them. I greeted them with salam and they replied to my salam. When I had passed them, one of them came up behind me and said that so-and-so is saying, by Allah, he bears enmity towards you for the sake of Allah Almighty. O Messenger of Allah! Now you call him and ask him for what reason he bears enmity towards me? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and asked about what the man had reported. He admitted and said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I said this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Well, tell me, why do you bear enmity towards him? He said: Yes, I am his neighbor and I am well aware of him. By Allah! I have seen him, he only performs the obligatory prayers, which every good and bad person performs. But that man said: O Messenger of Allah! Ask him also whether I have ever delayed these prayers from their times, or ever been deficient in ablution, or performed bowing and prostration incompletely? When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him these questions, he replied in the negative (i.e., it is true that he performs the prayers on time and with complete ablution). Then the objector said: By Allah! I have seen him that he only fasts in the month of Ramadan, which every good and bad person fasts. But that man said: O Messenger of Allah! Ask him also whether I have ever missed a fast in Ramadan, or been deficient in fulfilling the rights of fasting? When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him about this, he replied in the negative (i.e., it is true that this man fasts properly). The objector then said: By Allah! I have not seen him ever give anything to a beggar, or spend any wealth in the way of Allah, except for the zakat which every good and bad person pays. But that man said: O Messenger of Allah! Ask him also whether I have ever concealed anything from zakat, or caused any deficiency for the zakat recipient. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him about this, he replied in the negative. Now the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Stand up, I do not know, perhaps he is better than you.
Hadith 9449
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْأَرْوَاحُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا ائْتَلَفَ وَمَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا اخْتَلَفَ
Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Souls are like gathered armies; those who became acquainted with one another there, become familiar with each other here, and those among them who became strangers and unfamiliar there, do not become familiar here.
Hadith 9450
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ (وَقَالَ هَاشِمٌ مَنْ سَرَّهُ) أَنْ يَجِدَ طَعْمَ الْإِيمَانِ فَلْيُحِبَّ الْمَرْءَ وَلَا يُحِبَّهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever likes the taste of faith or is pleased by this thing, let him love a person solely for the sake of Allah Almighty.
Hadith 9451
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ أَيْنَ الْمُتَحَابُّونَ بِجَلَالِي الْيَوْمَ أُظِلُّهُمْ فِي ظِلِّي يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلِّي
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah the Exalted will say: Where are those who loved one another for the sake of My Majesty? Today I will shelter them in My shade, on a day when there is no shade except My shade.
Hadith 9452
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ لَا تَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا وَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى رَأْسِ ذَلِكَ أَوْ مَلَاكِ ذَلِكَ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ) أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ
Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You will not enter Paradise until you have faith, and you will not have faith until you love one another. Shall I not guide you to something which is the root and essence of this love? Spread salam (greetings of peace) among yourselves. In another narration: Shall I not guide you to something that if you do it, you will begin to love one another? Spread salam among yourselves.
Hadith 9453
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْجَمُوحِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا يَحِقُّ الْعَبْدُ حَقَّ صَرِيحِ الْإِيمَانِ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِلَّهِ وَيُبْغِضَ لِلَّهِ فَإِذَا أَحَبَّ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَأَبْغَضَ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَقَدِ اسْتَحَقَّ الْوَلَاءَ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَإِنَّ أَوْلِيَائِي مِنْ عِبَادِي وَأَحِبَّائِي مِنْ خَلْقِي الَّذِينَ يُذْكَرُونَ بِذِكْرِي وَأُذْكَرُ بِذِكْرِهِمْ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Jamuh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A servant cannot fulfill the right of explicit faith until he loves for the sake of Allah Almighty and harbors enmity for His sake. So when he loves for the sake of Allah Almighty and harbors enmity for His sake, then he becomes deserving of love and friendship from Allah Almighty. And indeed, My friends are from among My servants, and among My creation, those people are the most beloved to Me who are remembered because of My remembrance, and I am remembered because of their remembrance.
