Arabic text

4599 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفْضَلُ الْأَعْمَالِ الْحُبُّ فِي اللَّهِ، وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللَّهِ»

Commentary

See number 4681, which is similar, but instead of “the most virtuous of deeds” it is “whoever does...” “he will have perfected his faith.” And this narration is in this chapter because it indicates that one should hate innovation and those who call to it, for the sake of Allāh, as they should love the truth and its people for the sake of Allāh.
