Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقُلْنَا حَدِّثْنَا بِمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ حُرِّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ وَحُرِّمَتْ النَّارُ عَلَيْهِ إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ وَحُبُّ اللَّهِ وَأَنْ يُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ فَيُحْرَقَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي الْكُفْرِ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Nawfal ibn Mas'ud, who said: We entered upon Anas ibn Malik and said, "Tell us what you heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him." He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Three things — whoever has them, is forbidden to the Fire, and the Fire is forbidden to him: belief in Allah, love of Allah, and that being cast into the Fire and burned should be dearer to him than returning to disbelief."
