Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: A man was going to visit his brother in his village.

The angel asked: Does he owe you any favor that you are going to repay? The visitor replied: No, nothing. I only love him for the sake of Allah.
