حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أَحَبَّ عَبْدٌ عَبْدًا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا أَكْرَمَ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

Ibrahim ibn Mahdi told us, Isma'il ibn Ayyash told us, from Yahya ibn al-Harith, from al-Qasim, from Abu Umamah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No servant loves another servant for the sake of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, except that his Lord, Mighty and Majestic, honors him because of it."
