5125. It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik that a man was with the Prophet ﷺ, when another man passed by, and he said: "O Messenger of Allāh, I love this man." The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Have you told him?" He said: "No." He said: "Tell him." So he caught up with him and said: "I love you for the sake of Allāh." He said: "May the One for Whose sake you love me, also love you." (Hasan)

Arabic text

5125 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ هَذَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَعْلَمْتَهُ؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «أَعْلِمْهُ» قَالَ: فَلَحِقَهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ فِي اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ
