(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يُونُسُ ،
وَحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ
ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ بِهِنَّ حَلَاوَةَ الْإِيمَانِ : مَنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا ، وَرَجُلٌ يُحِبُّ رَجُلًا لَا يُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ، وَرَجُلٌ أَنْ يُقْذَفَ فِي النَّارِ ، أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ يَهُودِيًّا وَنَصْرَانِيًّا " ، قَالَ حَسَنٌ : أَوْ نَصْرَانِيًّا .
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.
