حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ وَخَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ فُلَانًا ف
ِي اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَخْبَرْتَهُ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْهُ فَقَالَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّكَ فِي اللَّهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَأَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ وَقَالَ خَلَفٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَلَقِيَهُ

Husayn and Khalaf ibn al-Walid narrated to us, they said: al-Mubarak narrated to us, he said: Thabit al-Bunani narrated to me, Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) informed me that a man said to the Prophet ﷺ: 'I love so-and-so for the sake of Allah.' He said: 'Have you informed him?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Go and inform him.' So he went to him and said: 'I love you for the sake of Allah.' He said: 'May the One for Whose sake you love me also love you.'
