48 صحيح حديث الْبَراء قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الأَنْصارُ لا يُحِبُّهُمْ إِلاَّ مُؤْمِنٌ، وَلا يُبْغِضُهُمْ إِلاّ مُنافِقٌ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ أَحَبَّهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَهُمْ أَبْغَضَهُ اللهُ
Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Only a believer will love the Ansar, and only a hypocrite will hate them. So whoever loves them, Allah will love him, and whoever hates them, Allah the Exalted will hate him.
