حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ
أَنَّ رَجُلاً كَانَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لأُحِبُّ هَذَا. فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «أَعْلَمْتَهُ؟» قَالَ؛ لاَ قَالَ: «أَعْلِمْهُ!» قَالَ فَلَحِقَهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ فِي اللَّهِ فَقَالَ: أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ.

A man was with the Prophet ﷺ and a man passed by him and said: “Messenger of Allah! I love this man.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked: “Did you let him know?” He replied: “No.” He said: “˹Then˺ let him know ˹that you love him˺!” He then went to him and said: “I love you for Allah's sake.” He replied: “May He for Whose sake you love me love you!”
