- ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; ʿAbd al-Rahman narrated to us; Sulayman ibn al-Mughira narrated to us, from Ghaylan ibn Jarir, who said: I heard Mutarrif say:
“No two people ever love one another for the sake of Allah—exalted is He—without the better of the two being the one who loves his companion more.”
I mentioned this to al-Hasan, and he said, “He has spoken the truth.”
١٣٢٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفًا، يَقُولُ: «مَا تَحَابَّ قَوْمٌ قَطُّ فِي اللَّهِ – Exalté soit-Il – إِلَّا كَانَ أَفْضَلَهُمَا أَشَدُّهُمَا حُبًّا لِصَاحِبِهِ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ»
