Relationship with a believer should be for the sake of Allah's pleasure
Hadith 67
أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ صَعْصَعَةُ بْنُ صُوحَانَ لِابْنِ يَزِيدَ: أَنَا كُنْتُ أَحَبَّ إِلَى أَبِيكَ مِنْكَ، وَأَنْتَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنِ ابْنِي، خَصْلَتَانِ أُوصِيكَ بِهِمَا فَاحْفَظْهُمَا مِنِّي، خَالِصِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَخَالِقِ الْفَاجِرَ فَإِنَّ الْفَاجِرَ يَرْضَى مِنْكَ بِالْخُلُقِ الْحَسَنِ، وَإِنَّهُ يَحَقُّ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نُخَالِصَ الْمُؤْمِنَ ".
Sa’sa’ah bin Sawhan said to Abu Zaid: I do not love your mother more than you, while you love my mother more than me. There are two qualities I advise you with, so remember them from me: Have sincere friendship with a believer, and behave well with a wicked person, because a wicked person will accept your words through good manners, and a believer has the right over you that you have sincere friendship with him.
