'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who has love for his brother in Allah
and for Allah should say, 'I love you for Allah,' and they will both enter
the Garden. The one who has love for someone in Allah has a degree over
the one he loves because of his love."
Mu'adh ibn Jabal said, "When you have love for your brother, do
not quarrel with him or treat him badly nor ask questions about him, It
may be that an enemy of his will appear and say something about him which
is not true and will thereby cause a split between you."
'Iyad ibn Khalifa heard 'Ali say at Siffin, "The intellect is located
in the heart. Mercy is located in the liver, Compassion is located in the
spleen. The self (nafs) is located in the lungs."
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَا تَحَابَّا الرَّجُلاَنِ إِلاَّ كَانَ أَفْضَلُهُمَا أَشَدَّهُمَا حُبًّا لِصَاحِبِهِ.
Anas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "When two men have love for one another, the better of them
is the one who has the strongest love for his companion."
