Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْمُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ بِهِنَّ حَلَاوَةَ الْإِيمَانِ أَنْ يَكُونَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا وَأَنْ يَكْرَهَ الْعَبْدُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُقْذَفَ فِي النَّارِ وَأَنْ يُحِبَّ الْعَبْدُ الْعَبْدَ لَا يُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
English Translation
Al-Mu'ammal ibn Isma'il and 'Affan told us, they said: Hammad ibn Salamah told us: Thabit told us, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "There are three things; whoever has them will find in them the sweetness of faith: that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and His Messenger be dearer to him than anything else; that a servant dislike returning to disbelief as he dislikes being thrown into the Fire; and that a servant love another servant, loving him only for the sake of Allah, Mighty and Majestic."
