1997. Muḥammad bin Sirīn narrated from Abū Hurairah – and I think he (narrated it from the Prophet ﷺ) who said: “Love your beloved moderately, perhaps he becomes hated to you someday. And hate whom you hate moderately, perhaps he becomes your beloved someday.” (Hasan)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it with this chain except from this route.
This Hadīth was reported from Ayyūb with a chain other than this. Al-Ḥasan bin Abī Jaʿfar reported it – but it is also a weak Hadīth – with a chain from ‘Alī, from the Prophet ﷺ. What is correct is from ‘Alī in Mawqūf form, [as his saying].

Commentary
Situations and circumstances keep on changing in a person's life. As a result, old friends become new adversaries and vice versa, and nobody knows what is in store for him in the future. It is, therefore, advisable not to go beyond the limits of moderation either in friendship or enmity.
