English translation

4033. It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “There are three things, whoever has them has found the taste of faith (One of the narrators) Bundār said: ‘The sweetness of faith; When he loves a man and only loves him for the sake of Allāh. When Allāh and His Messenger are more beloved to him than anything else; and when being thrown into the fire is dearer to him than going back to disbelief after Allāh has saved him from it.’” (Sahih)

Arabic text

4033 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ طَعْمَ الْإِيمَانِ - وَقَالَ بُنْدَارٌ: حَلَاوَةَ الْإِيمَانِ - مَنْ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الْمَرْءَ، لَا يُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا، وَمَنْ كَانَ أَنْ يُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي الْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنْقَذَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ "

Commentary

Love for the sake of Allāh means that the love of a friend should not be based on family, tribe, language, country or any mundane benefit, rather the basis of love should be for his piety and adherence to Islam. b. The sign of deep love of Allāh and His Prophet ﷺ, is that when the requirements of the wife, children, parents, friends, relatives, or other such matters contradict the Islamic Shari'ah, then one should stick to the rulings of Allāh and His Prophet ﷺ, ignoring them and their discontentment.
