Which of two who love one another is better and more beloved to Allah
Majma al-Zawaid 17994 — Which of two who love one another is better
وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَا تَحَابَّ رَجُلَانِ فِي اللَّهِ إِلَّا كَانَ أَحَبُّهُمَا إِلَى اللَّهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - أَشَدَّهُمَا حُبًّا لِصَاحِبِهِ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَأَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَالْبَزَّارُ بِنَحْوِهِ ، وَرِجَالُ أَبِي يَعْلَى ، وَالْبَزَّارِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ مُبَارَكِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ ، وَقَدْ وَثَّقَهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى ضَعْفٍ فِيهِ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever two men love one another for the sake of Allah Almighty, the more beloved of the two to Allah Almighty is the one who loves his companion more."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and Imam Abu Ya'la and Imam al-Bazzar recorded something similar. The narrators of Abu Ya'la and al-Bazzar are the narrators of the Sahih, except Mubarak bin Fadalah; despite the weakness found in him, more than one scholar has declared him trustworthy.
