حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ، عَنْ زَبَّانَ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَفْضَلِ الْإِيمَانِ قَالَ: " أَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلَّهَ، وَتُبْغِضَ لِلَّهِ، وَتُعْمِلَ لِسَانَكَ فِي ذِكْرِ اللهِ ". قَالَ: وَمَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " وَأَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ وَتَكْرَهَ لَهُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), "What is the most excellent form of faith?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "To love and hate for the sake of Allah, and to keep your tongue busy with the remembrance of Allah." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Anything else?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Like for people what you like for yourself, and dislike for them what you dislike for yourself."
