He, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, also said:

“By the One in Whose hand is my soul, none of you truly believes until I am dearer to him than his child, his father, and all people.”

ʿUmar, may Allah be pleased with him, once said to him, “O Messenger of Allah, you are dearer to me than everything except my own self.” He replied,

“No, O ʿUmar, not until I am dearer to you than your own self.”

So ʿUmar said, “Then, by Allah, you are dearer to me than my own self.”

The Prophet answered, “Now, O ʿUmar.”

He also said:

“Three qualities, whoever possesses them will taste the sweetness of faith: that Allah and His Messenger are dearer to him than anything else; that he loves a person only for Allah’s sake; and that he hates to return to disbelief, after Allah has delivered him from it, as much as he would hate to be cast into the Fire.”

Moreover, He has made clear in His Book the rights that belong exclusively to Him, the rights of His messengers, and the mutual rights believers owe one another
