Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 306

وَعَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ : كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِسْلَامِ أَوْثَقُ ؟ " . فَقَالُوا : الصَّلَاةُ . قَالَ : " حَسَنَةٌ ، وَمَا هِيَ بِهَا ؟ " قَالُوا : صِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ . قَالَ : " حَسَنٌ ، وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ ؟ " قَالُوا : الْجِهَادُ . قَالَ : " حَسَنٌ ، وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ ؟ " قَالَ : " إِنَّ أَوْثَقَ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ أَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلَّهِ وَتُبْغِضَ فِي اللَّهِ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ لَيْثُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ ، وَضَعَّفَهُ الْأَكْثَرُ .
Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) states: We were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he asked: "Which handhold of Islam is the firmest?" The people said: "Prayer." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is good, but that is not what is meant." The people said: "Fasting in Ramadan." He said: "It too is good, but that is not what is meant." The people said: "Jihad." He said: "It too is good, but that is not what is meant." Then he said: "The firmest handhold of Islam is that you love for the sake of Allah Almighty and hate for the sake of Allah."
Imam Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Layth bin Abi Sulaym, whom most (scholars) declared da'if (weak).
