Arabic text

٢٣٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌بُنْدَارٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ ‌حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنِ ‌الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أَحَبَّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُعْلِمْهُ إِيَّاهُ». وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، وَأَنَسٍ. حَدِيثُ الْمِقْدَامِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَالْمِقْدَامُ يُكْنَى أَبَا كَرِيمَةَ.

Commentary

Generally speaking, one-sided love is not long-lasting. It stands better chances of enduring if the other party is also informed of it, and it finds roots in his (or her) heart as well.
