قال الله تعالىٰ: {مُّحَمَّدٞ رَّسُولُ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥٓ أَشِدَّآءُ عَلَى ٱلۡكُفَّارِ رُحَمَآءُ بَيۡنَهُمۡۖ} [الفتح: 29] إلىٰ آخِرِ السورة، وقال تعالىٰ: {وَٱلَّذِينَ تَبَوَّءُو ٱلدَّارَ وَٱلۡإِيمَٰنَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ يُحِبُّونَ مَنۡ هَاجَرَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ} [الحشر: 9].
Allah Almighty says: {Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are firm against the disbelievers and compassionate among themselves} [Surat al-Fat'h: 29] till the end of the Surah. Allah Almighty also says: {As for those who were settled in the city [of Madinah] and embraced Islam before them, they love those who migrated to them} [Surat al-Hashr: 9]
1) محبة المؤمنين بعضهم بعضاً علامة صدق الإيمان، ومن لوازم الأخوة في الله.
1) Mutual love among the believers is a sign of true faith and one of the implications of brotherhood for Allah’s sake.
2) أكمل المؤمنين إيماناً أحبهم إلىٰ الخلق، وأنفعهم لعباد الله تعالىٰ.
2) The most perfect of the believers in terms of faith are those who are most loved by others and most helpful to them.
1/375 ــ وعن أنسٍ رضي الله عنه عن النَّبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: « ثَلاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ بِهِنَ حَلاَوَةَ الإيمَان: أَنْ يَكُونَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُما، وَأنْ يُحِبَّ المَرْءَ لا يُحِبُّهُ إلَّا لله، وَأَنْ يَكْرَهَ أَنْ يَعُودَ في الكُفْرِ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَنْقَذَهُ اللهُ مِنْهُ، كَمَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُقْذَفَ في النَّارِ». متفقٌ عليه.
375/1- Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There are three qualities whoever has them will taste the sweetness of faith: that Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than any other; that he loves a person only for the sake of Allah; and that he hates to return to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it just as he hates to be thrown into fire.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
1) محبة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم تابعة ونابعة من محبة الله سبحانه وتعالىٰ، لقوله في الحديث: «الله ورسوله»، ولم يقل ثم رسوله.
1) Love for the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) is related to and stemming from love for Allah Almighty, since the Hadīth says: “Allah and His Messenger,” not “Allah then His Messenger”.
2) حلاوة الإيمان تكون بالشعور بلذة الطاعة والرغبة فيها، وإيثارها علىٰ أهواء النفس.
2) The sweetness of faith is relished when one enjoys doing acts of obedience and likes doing them, and prefers them over the inclinations of his soul.
2/376 ــ وعن أبي هريرةَ رضي الله عنه عن النَّبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمُ اللهُ في ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لا ظِلَّ إلَّا ظِلُّهُ: إمَامٌ عَادِلٌ، وَشَابٌّ نَشَأَ في عِبَادَةِ الله _عز وجل_، وَرَجُلٌ قَلْبُهُ مُعَلَّقٌ بِالمَسَاجِدِ، وَرَجُلانِ تَحَابَّا في الله اجْتَمَعَا عَلَيْهِ، وَتَفَرَّقَا عَلَيْهِ، وَرَجُلٌ دَعَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ حُسْنٍ وَجَمَالٍ، فقال: إنِّي أَخَافُ اللهَ، وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ، فَأَخْفَاهَا حَتَّىٰ لا تَعْلَمَ شِمَالُهُ مَا تُنْفِقُ يَمِينُهُ، وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللهَ خَالِياً فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ». متفق عليه.
376/2- Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Seven people Allah will give them His Shade on the Day when there will be no shade but His Shade (i.e. on the Day of Resurrection): They are: a just ruler; a youth who grew up worshiping Allah; a man whose heart is attached to the mosques, two men who love each other for the sake of Allah, they meet each other and depart from each other for His sake; a man whom an extremely beautiful woman tries to seduce but he (rejects this offer and) says: ‘I fear Allah’; a man who gives in charity and conceals it (to such an extent) that his left hand does not know what his right has given; and a man who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes flow with tears.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
سبعة: ليس المراد بالسبعة حقيقة العدد، ولكنهم سبعة أصناف، ومن كل صنف عددٌ لا يحصيهم إلا الله _عز وجل_.
The word seven here does not literally mean that they are seven persons only, but it refers to seven categories of people, each category includes many people whose number is known to Allah Almighty alone.
الإمام: من ولي شيئاً من أمور المسلمين.
--
تفرقا عليه: بأجسادهما وأبدانهما لسفر أو موت.
They departed from each other for His sake: they were physically separated because of traveling or death.
1) المتحابون في الله لايقطع محبتهم في الله شيء من أمور الدنيا، ولا يفرقهم إلا الموت.
1) Nothing of this worldly affairs interrupts the love of those who love one another for the sake of Allah, and nothing separates them except death.
2) المعنىٰ الصحيح للمحبة في الله، ألا تبنىٰ هذه المحبة علىٰ مصلحة دنيوية، بحيث إذا زالت أو نقصت هذه المصلحة فاتت المحبة.
2) The true sense of loving someone for the sake of Allah is that such love should not be founded on a worldly interest, which once it ends or diminishes, love fades away.
3/377 ــ وعنه قال: قال رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «إنّ الله تعالىٰ يقولُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ: أَيْنَ المُتَحَابُّونَ بِجَلالي؟ الْيَوْمَ أُظِلُّهُمْ في ظِلِّي يَوْمَ لاَ ظِلَّ إلاّ ظِلِّي». رواه مسلم.
377/3- He also reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty will say on the Day of Judgment: “Where are those who loved each other for My glory? Today, I will shelter them under My shade the day when there is no shade but My shade.” [Narrated by Muslim]
1) فضل الحب في الله، وحث أهل الإيمان علىٰ التحابب في الله تعالىٰ.
1) The Hadīth highlights the virtue of loving one another for the sake of Allah and urges the believers to love one another for His sake.
2) الجزاء من جنس العمل؛ فمن آثر محبة الله تعالىٰ علىٰ الشهوات، وتَعبَ في الطاعة، آثره الله تعالىٰ بالظل يوم القيامة.
2) The reward is of the same kind as the deed, so whoever prefers love for Allah over his desires and offers acts of obedience diligently, Allah will favor him on the Day of Judgment and will shelter him under His shade.
4/378 ــ وعنه قال: قال رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسي بِيَدِهِ لا تَدْخُلُوا الجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ تُؤْمِنُوا، وَلا تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّىٰ تَحَابُّوا، أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلىٰ شَيْءٍ إذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ؟ أَفْشُوا السَّلامَ بَينكم». رواه مسلم.
378/4- He also reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I tell you of something that, if you do it, you will love one another? Spread the greeting of peace among yourselves.” [Narrated by Muslim]
1) لا يكمل إيمان العبد حتىٰ يحب لأخيه مايحب لنفسه من الخير.
1) A person’s faith is not complete until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself of good things.
2) من أسباب المحبة أن يُظهر المسلم السلام بين إخوانه، يُسلم علىٰ مَن لقيه مِن المسلمين، سواء عرفه أو لم يعرفه.
2) One of the reasons for fostering love among Muslims is for a Muslim to offer the greeting of peace to his fellow Muslims often; he greets with it whoever he meets of Muslims, whether he knows them or not.
3) علىٰ العبد أن يسعىٰ لكل سبب يوجب المودة والمحبة بين المسلمين.
3) A Muslim should seek to pursue every means that generates affection and love among Muslims.
4) السلام لا يُلقىٰ إلا علىٰ المسلمين، لقوله عليه الصلاة والسلام: «بينكم»، فلا يجوز البدء بإلقاء السلام علىٰ الكافرين.
4) Offering the greeting of peace is exclusive to Muslims, because the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “among yourselves.” Thus, it is impermissible to extend it to the disbelievers.
5/379 ــ وعنه عن النَّبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أَنَّ رَجُلاً زَارَ أَخاً لَهُ في قَرْيَةٍ أُخْرَى، فَأَرْصَدَ اللهُ لَهُ عَلىٰ مَدْرَجَتِهِ مَلَكاً» وذكر الحديث إلىٰ قوله: «إنَّ الله قَدْ أَحَبَّكَ كَمَا أَحْبَبتَهُ فِيهِ». رواه مسلم. وقد سبق بالباب قبله.
379/5 - He also reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A man set out to visit a brother (in faith) in another town and Allah sent an angel on his way... ” Where the angel said at the end: “I am a messenger to you from Allah (to inform you) that Allah loves you as you love him (for His sake).” [Narrated by Muslim] It was cited in the previous chapter.
مدرجته: طريقه.
--
1) مَن أحبَّ أهل الإيمان أحبَّهُ الله تعالىٰ.
1) Whoever loves the people of faith, Allah loves him.
2) أعظم حظٍّ يناله العبد هو نيل محبة الله تعالىٰ له، فالحظ العظيم هو أن يحب اللهُ تعالىٰ عبدَه بالاتباع والاقتداء، وليس الشأن أن يحب العبدُ ربَّه بالادعاء {قُلۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِي يُحۡبِبۡكُمُ ٱللَّه}.
2) The greatest fortune a slave may attain is to be loved by Allah Almighty. One can attain this great fortune when he loves Allah Almighty through following His Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and complying with his way, not loving Him by mere claims. {Say, “If you love Allah then follow me; Allah will love you...}
6/380 ــ وعن البَرَاءِ بن عَازِبٍ رضي الله عنهما عن النَّبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال في الأَنْصَارِ: «لا يُحِبُّهُمْ إلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ، وَلا يُبْغِضُهُمْ إلَّا مُنَافِقٌ، مَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ أَحَبَّهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَهم أَبْغَضَهُ اللهُ». متفقٌ عليه.
380/6- Al-Barā’ ibn ‘Āzib (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said about the Ansār: “Only a believer loves them, and only a hypocrite hates them. Whoever loves them, Allah loves him, and whoever hates them, Allah hates him.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
1) حبّ الأنصار من الإيمان، وبغضهم من شعب النفاق والكفران، فهم الذين ناصروا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والمهاجرين. رضي الله عنهم أجمعين.
1) Loving the Ansār is part of faith, and hating them is one of the branches of hypocrisy and ingratitude. They are the ones who supported the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and the immigrants, may Allah be pleased with them all.
2) حبّ أولياء الله سبحانه ونصرتهم سبب في حب الله عبدَه.
2) Loving the allies of Allah Almighty and supporting them is a reason for attaining the love of Allah Almighty.
قال الإمام الطحاوي ــ رحمه الله ــ : «ونُحبُّ أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولا نفرط في حب أحد منهم، ولا نتبرأ من أحد منهم. ونبغض مَن يبغضهم، وبغير الخير يذكرهم، ولا نذكرهم إلا بخير. وحبهم دين وإيمان وإحسان، وبغضهم كفر ونفاق وطغيان».
Imam Al-Tahāwi (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “We love the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). We do not exaggerate in our love for any of them, nor do we disown any of them. We hate whoever hates them and speaks ill of them. We say only good things about them. Loving them is part of religion, faith, and good doing, whereas hating them is disbelief, hypocrisy, and transgression.”
7/381 ــ وعن مُعَاذٍ رضي الله عنه قال: سَمِعتُ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «قَالَ اللهُ _عز وجل_: المُتَحَابُّونَ في جَلاَلِي، لَهُمْ مَنَابِرُ مِنْ نُورٍ، يَغْبِطُهُمُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالشّهَدَاءُ». رواه الترمذي وقال: حديثٌ حسنٌ صحيحّ.
381/7- Mu‘ādth (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) say: “Allah, Glorified and Exalted, said: ‘Those who love one another for the sake of My Glory will have pulpits of light, and the prophets and martyrs will admire them and wish to share with them such an honor.’” [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi; who classified it as Hasan Sahīh (sound authentic)]
يغبطهم: يتمنون أن لهم مثلهم من المنزلة والشرف دون زوالها عنهم، وهو المسمّىٰ: حسد الغبطة.
Prophets and martyrs will admire them: they will wish to have the same rank and honor as theirs, without wishing that those people should lose such rank and honor though, and this is what is known as Ghibtah (malice-free envy).
1) للمتحابين في جلال الله منزلة عظيمة ومقام كريم، فهم علىٰ نور في الدنيا ولهم منابر من نور يوم القيامة.
1) Those who love one another for the sake of Allah’s glory occupy a great rank and an honorable position. They are guided by light in the worldly life and will have pulpits of light on the Day of Judgment.
2) التنافس في الخيرات سبيل المؤمنين الصادقين.
2) Vying for doing good deeds is the way of the faithful believers.
8/382 ــ وعن أبي إدريسٍ الخَوْلانيِّ ــ رَحِمَهُ الله ــ قال: دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ دِمَشْقَ، فَإذَا فَتىٰ بَرَّاقُ الثَّنَايَا، وَإذَا النَّاسُ مَعَهُ، فَإذَا اخْتَلَفُوا في شَيْءٍ أسْنَدُوهُ إلَيْهِ، وَصدَرُوا عَنْ رَأْيِهِ، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ، فَقِيلَ: هَذَا مُعَاذُ بنُ جَبَلٍ رضي الله عنه، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ هَجَّرْتُ، فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي بِالتَّهْجِيرِ، وَوَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي، فَانْتَظَرْتُهُ حَتَّىٰ قَضَىٰ صلاتَهُ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: وَاللهِ إنِّي لأُحِبُّكَ لله، فَقَالَ: آلله؟ فَقُلْتُ: الله، فقال: آلله؟ فَقُلتُ: الله، فَأَخَذَنِي بِحَبْوَةِ رِدَائِي، فَجَبَذَني إلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: أَبْشِر، فَإنِّي سَمِعْتُ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقولُ: «قال اللهُ تعالَى: وَجبَتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتحابِّينَ فِيَّ، وَالمُتَجَالِسِيْنَ فِيَّ، وَالمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ، وَالمُتبَاذِلِينَ فِيَّ». حديث صحيح رواه مالِك في المُوَطَّأ بإسنادِهِ الصَّحيحِ.
382/8- Abu Idrīs al-Khawlāni (may Allah have mercy upon him) reported: “I once entered the Damascus Mosque. I saw a young man who had shining teeth, and people were with him. When they differed over anything, they would refer it to him and would adopt his opinion. I asked who he was and I was told that he was Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him). On the next day, I went early to the mosque, but found that he had arrived earlier than me and was praying. I waited until he completed his prayer and then went up to him from the front. I greeted him and said: ‘By Allah, I love you for the sake of Allah.’ He asked: ‘By Allah?’ I replied: ‘Yes, by Allah.’ He then asked me again: ‘By Allah?’ I replied: ‘Yes, by Allah.’ Then he took hold of the waist edge of my cloak, drew me close to himself and said, ‘Rejoice, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) saying: “Allah Almighty said: ‘My love is certainly due to those who love one another for My sake, sit with one another for My sake, visit one another for My sake, cooperate and give one another for My sake.”’” This is an authentic Hadīth narrated by Mālik in Al-Muwatta’ with an authentic chain of narration.
قَوْلُهُ: «هَجَّرْتُ» أَيْ بكَّرْتُ، وَهُوَ بتشديد الجيم. قوله: «آلله، فَقُلْتُ: الله» الأوَّلُ بهمزةٍ ممدودةٍ للاستفهامِ، والثاني بِلا مدّ.

1) استحباب إخبار المحب لمن يحبه، فيقول له: إني أحبك في الله.

3) People must have a scholar who would edify them on the Qur’an and Sunnah, to whom they should refer and act upon his Fatwa.
4) بيان عظيم فضل المحبة في الله، التي من ثمارها التزاور والتباذل والتعاون، وكلها روابط تقوي عرىٰ المحبة في الله.
4) The Hadīth underlines the great virtue of loving one another for Allah’s sake, which entails that people would visit one another, give one another and cooperate with one another. All these acts serve as bonds that reinforce their love for Allah’s sake.
9/383 ــ عن أبي كَرِيمَةَ المِقْدَامِ بْن مَعْدِ يَكرِبَ رضي الله عنه عن النَّبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «إذا أَحَبَّ الرَّجُلُ أخَاهُ فَلْيُخْبِرْه أنّهُ يُحِبُّهُ». رواه أبو داود، والترمذي وقال: حديثٌ حسنٌ.
383/9 - Abu Karīmah Al-Miqdām ibn Ma‘dīyakrib (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When a man loves his brother (in faith), he should tell him that he loves him.” [Narrated by Abu Dāwūd and Al-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hasan (sound)]
1) من أحب أخاه في الله فليخبره، فهذا من هدي النَّبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
1) When one loves his brother, he should tell him as this is part of the guidance of the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him).
2) إعلام الرجل أخاه أنه يحبه في الله: سببٌ لتوثيق الأخوة، وزيادة الألفة، وتأكيد عرىٰ المودة.
2) To inform whom you love that you love him for the sake of Allah is a reason for fortifying the bond of brotherhood and fostering friendliness and affection.
10/384 ــ وعن مُعَاذٍ رضي الله عنه أنَّ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ ، وقال: «يَا مُعَاذُ، واللهِ إنِّي لأُحِبُّكَ، ثُمَّ أُوصِيكَ يَا مُعَاذُ: لاَ تَدَعَنَّ في دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاةٍ تَقُولُ: اللَّهم أَعِنِّي عَلىٰ ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ، وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ». حديثٌ صحيحٌ، رواه أبو داود والنسائي بإسناد صحيح.
384/10- Mu‘ādh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) held his hand and said: “O Mu‘ādh, by Allah, I truly love you. I advise you, O Mu‘ādh, never fail to say after each prayer: Allahumma a‘inni ‘ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ‘ibādatik (O Allah, help me remember You, thank You, and worship You in an excellent manner.” [A Sahīh (authentic) Hadīth narrated by Abu Dāwūd and Al-Nasā’i with an authentic Isnād]]
دُبر كل صلاة: يعني في آخر كل صلاة مفروضة قبل السلام.
After each prayer: This means that the invocation mentioned in the Hadīth should be recited after finishing the prayer and before making Taslīm.
1) من السنة إذا أحببت شخصاً أن تقول له: إني أحبك.
1) To say to someone whom you love: ‘I love you’ is a directive of the Sunnah.
2) فضل معاذ بن جبل رضي الله عنه؛ لأن النَّبيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خصّه بهذه الوصية الخالصة لمحبته صلى الله عليه وسلم له.
2) Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) occupies an excellent position in Islam, as the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) singled him out with this sincere advice owing to his love for him.
3) استحباب التزام هذا الدعاء قبل السلام من الصلاة.
3) It is recommended to adhere to saying this invocation before making Taslīm that ends the prayer.
قال أهل العلم: ما ورد من قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «دُبر كل صلاة» يُنظر في سياقه، فإن كان من باب الثناء والذكر، كالتسبيح والتحميد والتكبير، فمحله بعد الصلاة. وما كان من باب الدعاء، كحديث معاذ فمحله قبل الصلاة.
Scholars said that when the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) says that something should be done or said ‘after the prayer,’ we should look at the context. If it belongs to praising and remembering Allah like Tasbīh, Tahmīd, and Takbīr, then ‘after the prayer’ here means after ending the prayer with Taslīm. But, if it is an invocation, like what is mentioned in the cited Hadīth of Mu‘ādh, then it is to be said before ending the prayer with Taslīm.
قال العلَّامة ابن القيم ــ رحمه الله تعالىٰ ــ:
The erudite scholar Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:
«وبالجملة... فلا ريب أن عامة أدعيته التي كان يدعو بها وعلمها الصدِّيق إنما هي في صلب الصلاة، وأما حديث معاذ بن جبل: لا تنسَ أن تقول دُبر كل صلاة... فدبر الصلاة يُراد به آخرها قبل السلام منها... ويراد به ما بعد السلام كقوله: تسبحون الله وتكبرون وتحمدون دبر كل صلاة...».
“Generally speaking... there is no doubt that most of his invocations that he used to recite and which he taught to Al-Siddīq were recited inside the prayer. As for the Hadīth of Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal where he said: ‘Do not forget to say after every prayer...’ 'after' means at the end of the prayer before making Taslīm... or after Taslīm, as in his saying: You should make Tasbīh, Takbīr and Tahmīd after every prayer...”
وقال أيضاً: «ودبر الصلاة يحتمل قبل السلام وبعده».
He added: “'after the prayer' may mean before Taslīm of after it.”

11/385 ــ وعن أنس ٍرضي الله عنه أنَّ رَجُلاً كانَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ، فَقال: يَا رسولَ الله إنِّي لأُحِبّ هذَا، فقال له النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أَأَعلَمْتَهُ ؟» قَالَ: لا، قَالَ: «أَعْلِمْهُ» فَلَحِقَهُ، فَقَالَ: إنِّي أُحِبُّكَ في الله، فقالَ: أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ. رواه أبو داود بإسنادٍ صحيح.
385/11- Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man was with the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) when another man passed by him. He said, “O Messenger of Allah, I love this man.” The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Have you told him?” He said, “No.” He said: “Tell him.” So he caught up with him and said, “I love you for Allah’s sake.” He said, “May He (Allah) love you, for the sake of whom you love me.”
1) إعلام الشخص بمحبتك له مما يقوي الصلة ويزيد الألفة.
1) Telling someone about your love for them strengthens the ties between you and increases intimacy.
2) من أخبره أخوه أنه يحبه، فليخبره ويدعو له بقوله: أحبك الله الذي أحببتني له.
2) When someone is informed by his brother that he loves him, he should respond by saying to him, “May Allah love you, for the sake of whom you love me.”
3) ما من خير إلا ودل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الأمة عليه، ومن ذلك أنّه علّمهم كيف يحبون بعضهم، وكيف تزداد محبتهم. فأين بعض المسلمين اليوم من هدي نبيهم صلى الله عليه وسلم؟
3) The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) guided his Ummah to all that is good, including teaching them how to love one another and how such love could increase. So, why are some Muslims today negligent about the guidance of their Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) in this regard?
