أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، قال : سَمِعْتُ رِبْعِيًّا ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " ثَلَاثَةٌ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، رَجُلٌ أَتَى قَوْمًا فَسَأَلَهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُمْ بِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَمَنَعُوهُ ، فَتَخَلَّفَهُمْ رَجُلٌ بِأَعْقَابِهِمْ فَأَعْطَاهُ سِرًّا لَا يَعْلَمُ بِعَطِيَّتِهِ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ ، وَقَوْمٌ سَارُوا لَيْلَتَهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ النَّوْمُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِمَّا يُعْدَلُ بِهِ نَزَلُوا فَوَضَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ ، فَقَامَ يَتَمَلَّقُنِي وَيَتْلُو آيَاتِي ، وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَلَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ فَانْهَزَمُوا فَأَقْبَلَ بِصَدْرِهِ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ أَوْ يُفْتَحَ لَهُ " .
´It was narrated from Zaid bin Zabyan who attributed it to Abu Dharr that:` The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "There are three whom Allah (SWT) loves: A man who comes to some people and asks (to be given something) for the sake of Allah and not for the sake of their relationship, but they do not give him, so a man stayed behind and gave it to him in secret, and no one knew of his giving except Allah (SWT) and the one to whom he gave it. People who travel all night until sleep becomes dearer to them than anything equated with it, so they lay down their heads (and slept), then a man among them got up and started praying to Me and beseeching Me, reciting My Verses. And a man who was on a campaign and met the enemy and they fled, but he went forward (pursuing them) until he was killed or victory was granted."

(1) Love and hatred are attributes of Allah, which are mentioned abundantly in the Qur’an and Hadith. However, some people, influenced by certain non-Muslim philosophical principles, deny these attributes and interpret them merely as reward and punishment, even though these are two distinct attributes that are found in Allah. Such people should reflect: do they possess greater knowledge of Allah’s essence and attributes than Allah Himself and His Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)? The meaning of a word should be taken as it is understood by a simple listener, whether literal or figurative. If the general meaning of these attributes were not befitting for Allah, it would certainly have been clarified.
(2) Regarding the three types of people whom Allah loves, there is one common quality among them, and that is sincerity. All three are far removed from ostentation and sacrifice their wealth, comfort, and lives solely for Allah.
(3) Adultery, arrogance, and oppression are always major sins and are disliked by Allah, and their perpetrator is detested by Allah. However, when the perpetrator has not even the slightest excuse—not even customarily—then these acts become the gravest of the major sins. For a youth, lust; for a wealthy person, wealth; and for a poor person, poverty can customarily be considered excuses for these crimes. But what excuse can an old man have for adultery, a poor person for arrogance and haughtiness, or a wealthy person for depriving someone of their rights—an excuse that could be presented even customarily, if not legally? May Allah protect us from these.
