Musnad Ahmad 12590

Translation

✧ A man said to the Prophet ﷺ: I love so-and-so for the sake of Allah. He said: Have you told him? He said: No. He said: Tell him. So he said: Know that I love you for the sake of Allah. He said: Then may the One for whose sake you loved me love you. Khalaf said in his narration: So he met him.
