أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى الِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " ثَلاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ حَلاوَةَ الإِيمَانِ : أَنْ يَكُونَ الِلَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا ، وَأَنْ يُحِبَّ الْمَرْءَ لا يُحِبُّهُ إِلا لِلَّهِ ، وَأَنْ يَكْرَهَ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِي الْكُفْرِ كَمَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ تُوقَدْ لَهُ نَارٌ فَيُقْذَفَ فِيهَا " .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three qualities, whoever possesses them will taste the sweetness of faith: One is that Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than anything else; (second) that he loves a person and he loves him only for the sake of Allah; and (third) that he hates to return to disbelief just as he would hate to be thrown into the fire."
