قَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا الصَّعْقُ بْنُ حَزْنٍ، عَنْ عَقِيلٍ الْجَعْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، أَتَدْرِي أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِسْلَامِ أَوْثَقُ ؟ قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ ﷺ: الْوَلَايَةُ فِي اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَالْحُبُّ فِي اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى

✧ "O Abdullah, do you know which of the bonds of Islam is most firm?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He ﷺ said: "Allegiance for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), love for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and hatred for the sake of Allah (Blessed and Exalted)."

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
هذا خطأ إنما هو الصعق بن حزن عن عقيل الجعدي عن أبي إسحاق وليس لحرب معنى ونفس الحديث منكر لا يشبه حديث أبي إسحاق ويشبه أن يكون عقيل هذا أعرابي والصعق فلا بأس به
machine translationThis is a mistake; it is only al-Ṣaʿq b. Ḥazn, from ʿAqīl al-Jaʿdī, from Abū Isḥāq, and Ḥarb has no place in it. The hadith itself is rejected (munkar) and does not resemble the hadith of Abū Isḥāq. It seems that this ʿAqīl was a Bedouin, and as for al-Ṣaʿq, there is no harm in him.
