حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنِّي أُحِبُّ فُلَانًا فِي اللهِ ، قَالَ : فَأَعْلَمْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَأْتِهِ فَأَعْلِمْهُ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَاهُ فَأَعْلَمَهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا فُلَانُ ، إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ فِي اللهِ ، قَالَ : أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I love so-and-so for the sake of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Have you informed him of this?" He said: "No." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then go to him and tell him." The narrator said: So that man went to him and informed him: "O so-and-so! I love you for the sake of Allah." He replied: 'Ahabbaka alladhi ahbabtani lahu' (May Allah, for whose sake you have loved me, love you too).
