Yazid bin Abi Habib says: Abu Salim al-Jayshani came to Abu Umayyah at his house and said: I heard Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) say that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When a person loves his companion, let him come to him at his house and tell him that he loves him for the sake of Allah Almighty." (Then Abu Salim al-Jayshani said:) That is why I have come to your house.
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its chain is hasan (good).
