1899. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the Prophet ﷺ passed by some part of Al-Madinah and saw some girls beating their Daff and singing, saying: "We are girls from Banu Najjâr What an excellent neighbor is Muhammad." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Allâh knows that you are dear to me." (Sahih)
1899 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِبَعْضِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِجَوَارٍ يَضْرِبْنَ بِدُفِّهِنَّ، وَيَتَغَنَّيْنَ، وَيَقُلْنَ: [البحر الرجز] نَحْنُ جَوَارٍ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ ... يَا حَبَّذَا مُحَمَّدٌ مِنْ جَارِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكُنَّ»

Respected elderly people may say suitable friendly and kind words to the young girls, so long as there is no risk of misunderstanding. The words 'Allâh knows' are regarded as an oath in this case. Speaking words of an oath for emphasis is permissible even though there is no doubt which has arisen. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ liked the Ansâr because they offered lots of sacrifices for Islam; the love for the Ansâr by the believers is a requisite of their belief.
