Loving Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam مَحَبّةُ رَسُوُل الَلّهِ صَلَّىَ الَلّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam said: "None of you truly believes until he loves me more than his own self, wealth, children, parents and all people". عَنْ اَنَسٍ اَنَّه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لاَ يُؤمِنُ اَحَدُكُمْ حَتّى اَكُوْنَ اَحَبَّ اِلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِه وَمَالِه وَوَلَدِه وَوَالِدِه وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِيْنَ
Omar Ibn Al-Khattab told Rasulullah, Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam: "You are dearer to me, O Rasulullah, than everything I possess except my own self which is within me". Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam replied: "You will not be a believer until I am dearer to you than your own self" Omar said: "By Him who revealed to you the Book, you are dearer to me than my own self". Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam said to him: "Now, Omar, your faith is complete". وَفِىْ حَدِيْثِ عُمَرَ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: اَنْتَ اَحَبُّ اِلَىَّ يَارَسُوْلَ اللهِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ اِلاَّ نَفْسِى الَّتِىْ بَيْنَ جَنْبَىّ،َ فَقَالَ لَه عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاةُ وَالسَّلاَم: لاَ تَكُوْنُ مُؤمِنًا حَتّى اَكُوْنَ اَحَبَّ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ نَّفْسِك،َ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : وَالَّذِىْ اَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ لَاَنْتَ اَحَبُّ اِلَىَّ مِنْ نَّفْسِى الَّتِىْ بَيْنَ جَنْبَىَّ، فَقَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اَلْانَ يَاعُمَرُ تَمَّ اِيْمَانُكَ
And Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam was asked "When will I attain faith?" (or "When will I attain true faith") He replied: "When you love Allah". He was asked: "And when will I love Allah?" Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam said:" When you love His messenger." He was asked: "And when will I love His messenger?" Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam said: "When you follow his path, adhere to his way, love what he loves and hate what he hates, befriend whom he befriends and oppose whom he opposes – and people will be distinguished one from another in their disbelief according to their hate for me. He who has no love has no faith. He who has no love has no faith. He who has no love has no faith.” وَقِيْلَ لِرَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَتى اَكُوْنُ مُؤمِنًا وَفِىْ لَفْظٍ اخَرَ مُؤمِنًا صَادِقًا؟ قَالَ اِذَا اَحْبَبْتَ اللهَ، فَقِيْلَ مَتى اُحِبُّ اللهَ؟ قَالَ: اِذَا اَحْبَبْتَ رَسُوْلَه، فَقِيْلَ: وَمَتى اُحِبُّ رَسُوْلُه؟ قَالَ: اِذَا اتَّبَعْتَ طَرَيْقَتَه وَاسْتَعْمَلْتَ سُنَّتَه وَاَحْبَبْتَ بِحُبِّه وَاَبْغَضْتَ بِبُغْضِه وَوَالَيْتَ بِوَلاَيَتِه وَعَادَيْتَ بِعَدَاوَتِه وَيَتَفَاتُ وَالنَّاسُ فِى الْاِيْمَانِ عَلى قَدْرِ تَفَاوُتِهِمْ فِىْ مَحَبَّتِىْ وَيَتَفَاوَتُوْنَ فِى الْكُفْر عَلى قَدْرِ تَفَاُوِتِهْم فِىْ بُغْضِىْ، اَلاَ لاَ اِيْمَانَ لِمَنْ لاَ مَحَبَّةَ لَه، اَلاَ لاَ اِيْمَانَ لِمَنْ لاَ مَحَبَّةَ لَه، اَلاَ لاَ اِيْمَانَ لِمَنْ لاَ مَحَبَّةَ لَه
And Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam was told: "We see a believer in humility and a believer devoid of humility. What is the reason for this?" Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam said: "He who finds pleasure in belief is humbled, and who does not find it is not humbled". Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam was asked: "How can we find such faith, or obtain it or earn it?" Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam replied: "By truth in loving The Lord". Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam was asked: "How can the love of The Lord be found or earned?" Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam said: "By loving His messenger.”
So seek pleasing The Lord and pleasing His messenger in loving Them.		 وَقِيْلَ لِرَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: نَرى مُؤمِنًا يَخْشَعُ وَمُؤمِنًا لاَّ يَخْشَعُ مَا السَّبَبُ فِىْ ذلِك؟َ فَقَال: مَنْ وَّجَدَ لِاِيْمَانِه حَلاَوَةً خَشَعَ وَمَنْ لَّمْ يَجِدْهَا لَمْ يَخْشَع،ْ فَقِيْل: بِمَ تُوْجَدُ اَوْبِمَ تُنَال وَتُكْسَب؟ُ قَال: بِصِدْقِ الْحُبِّ فِى اللهِ، فَقِيْل: وَبِمَ يُوْجَدُ حُبُّ اللهِ اَوْ بِمَ يُكْتَسَبُ؟ فَقَالَ بِحُبِّ رَسُوْلِه. فَالْتَمِسُوْا رِضَاءَ اللهِ وَرِضَاءَ رَسُوْلِه فِىْ حُبِّهِمَا
And Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam was asked "Who are the family of Muhammad whom we are ordered to love and honor and treat with reverence?" Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam replied: "The people of purity and fidelity, who believe in me sincerely". Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam was asked: "What are their signs?" He said: "They prefer loving me over every loved one, and their inner-self is busy mentioning me after mentioning The Lord" (In another version: "Their signs are: being addicted to mentioning me and plentifully asking for prayers upon me". وَقِيْلَ لِرَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ الُ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدِ الَّذِيْنَ اُمِرْنَا بِحُبِّهِمْ وَاِكْرَامِهِمْ وَالْبُرُوْرِ بِهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ: اَهْلُ الصَّفَاءِ وَالْوَفَاءِ مَنْ امَنَ بِىْ وَاَخْلَصَ، فَقِيْلَ لَه: وَمَا عَلاَمَاتُهُم؟ْ فَقَال: اِيْثَارُ مَحَبَّتِىْ عَلى كُلِّ مَحْبُوْبٍ وَّاشْتِغَالُ الْبَاطِنِ بِذِكْرِىْ بَعْدَ ذِكْرِ اللهِ وَفِى اُخْرى عَلاَمَتُهُمْ اِدْمَانُ ذِكْرِىْ وَالْاِكْثَارُ مِنَ الصَّلاةِ عَلَىَّ
And Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam was asked: Who is the one whose belief in you is strong? Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam replied: "The one who believes in me without seeing me for he believes and yearns for me and is sincere in his love for me. A sign of this is that he desires a vision of me more than anything he owns. (in another version the words are: "…more than the fill of the world in gold") This is the true believer in me and the one true and sincere in loving me". وَقِيْلَ لِرَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنِ الْقَوِىُّ فِى الْاِيْمَانِ بِكَ؟ فَقَالَ: مَنْ امَنَ بِىْ وَلَمْ يَرَنِىْ فَاِنَّه مُؤمِنٌ بِىْ عَلى شَوْقٍ مِّنِّىْ وَصِدْقٍ فِىْ مَحَبَّتِىْ وَعَلاَمَةُ ذلِكَ مِنْهُ اَنَّه يَوَدُّ رُؤيَتِىْ بِجَمِيْعِ مَا يَمْلِك وَفِى اُخْرى مِلْاَ الْاَرْضِ ذَهَبًا ذلِكَ الْمُؤمِنُ بِىْ حَقًّا وَّالْمُخْلِصُ فِىْ مَحَبَّتِىْ صِدْقًا
