(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
الْمُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ،
وَعَفَّانُ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ بِهِنَّ حَلَاوَةَ الْإِيمَانِ : أَنْ يَكُونَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا وَأَنْ يَكْرَهَ الْعَبْدُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُقْذَفَ فِي النَّارِ ، وَأَنْ يُحِبَّ الْعَبْدُ الْعَبْدَ لَا يُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are three things, whoever possesses them will taste the sweetness of faith: First, that Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than anyone else; second, that when he loves someone, he loves him only for the sake of Allah; and third, that after being saved from disbelief, he dislikes returning to it just as he would dislike being thrown into the fire.
