Hadith #89
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ وَحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ بِهِنَّ حَلَاوَةَ الْإِيمَانِ مَنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ وَر
َسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا وَرَجُلٌ يُحِبُّ رَجُلًا لَا يُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَرَجُلٌ أَنْ يُقْذَفَ فِي النَّارِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ يَهُودِيًّا نَصْرَانِيًّا قَالَ حَسَنٌ أَوْ نَصْرَانِيًّا

English Translation
Yunus and Hasan ibn Musa narrated to us, they said Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Thabit al-Bunani, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Three things — whoever has them will find the sweetness of faith: that Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than anything else; that he loves a person and does not love him except for the sake of Allah; and that he hates to return to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it, just as he hates to be thrown into the Fire.'
