بَابُ أَيُّ الْمُتَحَابِّينَ أَفْضَلُ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ .
Which of two who love one another is better and more beloved to Allah
Majma al-Zawaid 17995 — Which of two who love one another is better
وَعَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ - يَرْفَعُهُ - قَالَ : " مَا مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ تَحَابَّا فِي اللَّهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ إِلَّا كَانَ أَحَبُّهُمَا إِلَى اللَّهِ أَشَدَّهُمَا حُبًّا لِصَاحِبِهِ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ الْمُعَافَى بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this as a "marfu'" hadith: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever two men love one another for the sake of Allah Almighty in each other's absence, 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 its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except al-Mu'afa bin Sulayman, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
