Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

385 – Al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said regarding the Anṣār: “No one loves them except a believer, and no one despises them except a hypocrite. Whoever loves them, Allah will love him; and whoever hates them, Allah will hate him.” Agreed upon.

386 – Muʿādh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: ‘Those who love one another for the sake of My majesty will have pulpits (1) of light, which even the prophets and the martyrs will envy.’” Related by al-Tirmidhī, who graded it ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ.

387 – Abū Idrīs al-Khawlānī (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I entered the mosque of Damascus and saw a young man with radiant teeth (2) around whom the people gathered; whenever they differed over something, they referred it to him and accepted his view. I asked about him and was told, “That is Muʿādh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him).” The next morning I went early, but he had already arrived before me; I found him praying. I waited until he finished, then approached him from the front, greeted him, and said, “By Allah, I truly love you for Allah’s sake.” He said, “By Allah?” I replied, “By Allah.” He repeated, “By Allah?” I answered, “By Allah.” He then took hold of the edge of my cloak, pulled me toward him and said, “Rejoice! For I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Allah, Exalted be He, declares: My love is due to those who love one another for My sake, who sit together for My sake, who visit one another for My sake, and who give to one another for My sake.’” A sound narration recorded by Mālik in the Muwaṭṭaʾ with an authentic chain.

His word “hajartu” means “I came early,” the jīm being doubled. Concerning the exchange “Āllāh? … Allāh,” the first contains a lengthened hamzah for interrogation, whereas the second does not.

388 – Abū Karīmah al-Miqdād ibn Maʿdikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “When a man loves his brother, let him inform him that he loves him.” Reported by Abū Dāwūd and al-Tirmidhī, who said:

(1) That is, they sit upon it; and ghibta (laudable envy) means wishing to have the same good that another possesses. (2) That is, one whose teeth are bright white—attractive—or who smiles frequently.

٣٨٥ - وعن البراء بن عازب رضي الله عنهما عن النبي ﷺ أنه قال في الأنصار : « لا يُحِبُّهُمْ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ ، وَلَا يُبْغِضُهُمْ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ ، مَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ أَحَبَّهُ اللهُ ، وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَهُمْ أَبْغَضَهُ اللهُ » متفق عليه . ٣٨٦ - وعن معاذ رضي الله عنه قال : سَمِعْتُ رسول الله ﷺ يقول : « قال الله عز وجل : المُتَحَابُّونَ فِي جَلَالِي لَهُمْ مَنَابِرُ(١) مِنْ نُورٍ ، يَغْبِطُهُمُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ » . رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن صحيح . ٣٨٧ - وعن أبي إدريس الخولاني رحمه الله قال : دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ دِمَشْقَ فَإِذَا فَتَى بَرَّاقُ الثَّنَايَا(٢) وَإِذَا النَّاسُ مَعَهُ ، فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ ، أَسْنَدُوهُ إِلَيْهِ ، وَصَدَرُوا عَنْ رَأْيِهِ ، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ : هَذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ رضي الله عنه . فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ هَجَرْتُ ، فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي بِالتَّهْجِيرِ ، وَوَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي ، فَانْتَظَرْتُهُ حَتَّى قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ : وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ لِلَّهِ . فقال : اللهُ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : اللهُ . فقال : اللهُ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : اللهُ ، فَأَخَذَنِي بِحَبْوَةِ رِدَائِي فَجَذَبَنِي إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ : أَبْشِرْ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ : « قال الله تعالى : وَجَبَتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِيَّ ، وَالْمُتَجَالِسِينَ فِيَّ ، وَالْمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ ، وَالْمُتَبَاذِلِينَ فِيَّ » حديث صحيح رواه مالك في الموطأ بإسناده الصحيح . قوله « هَجَرْتُ » : أي بَكَّرْتُ ، وَهُوَ بتشديد الجيم ، وقوله : « آلله فَقُلْتُ : الله » الأول بهمزة ممدودة للاستفهام والثاني بلا مد . ٣٨٨ - وعن أبي كَرِيمَةَ المقداد بن معد يكرب رضي الله عنه عن النبي ﷺ قال : « إِذَا أَحَبَّ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ ، فَلْيُخْبِرْهُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّهُ » رواه أبو داود ، والترمذي وقال :

(١) أي : يجلسون عليها . و ( الغبطة ) تمني مثل ما للغير من الخير . (٢) أي : أبيض الثغر حسنه أو كثير التبسم .
