None of you has faith until he loves for the people what he loves for himself, and until he loves a
person only for the sake of Allah the Exalted.
[Musnad Ahmad, Number 13463, Hasan]
In another narration, the Prophet said:
Love for people what you would love for yourself, and hate for people what you would hate for
yourself.
[Musnad Ahmad, Number 15453, Hasan]
In another narration, the Prophet said:
Whoever would love to be delivered from the Fire and entered into Paradise, then let him die with
faith in Allah and the Last Day, and let him treat the people the way he would love to be treated.
[Sahih Muslim, Book 20, Number 4546]
An-Nawawi comments on this tradition:
It is better to interpret this as brotherhood in general, such that it includes the disbeliever and the Muslim.
So he should love for his brother, the disbeliever, what he loves for himself which is his entering Islam,
just as he should love for his brother Muslim that he remains in Islam. For this reason, it is recommended
to supplicate for the disbeliever to be guided. The meaning of love here is an intention for good and
benefit, and this meaning is religious love, not human love.
[Sharh Arbaeen An-Nawawi]
Ibn Rajab comments on this tradition:
Some of the righteous predecessors said: The people who love Allah look by the light of Allah, and they
are compassionate with those who disobey Allah. They hate their actions but show mercy to them so that
through their admonitions they might leave their actions. They are afraid that the Hellfire will consume
their bodies. The believer will not truly be a believer until he is pleased for people to have what he is
pleased for himself. If he sees in someone else some merit by which they excel him, then he wishes the
like of it for himself. If that merit is related to the religion then it is good.
