حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ کُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ بِهِنَّ طَعْمَ الْإِيمَانِ مَنْ کَانَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا وَأَنْ يُحِبَّ الْمَرْئَ لَا يُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَأَنْ يَکْرَهَ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِي الْکُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنْقَذَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ کَمَا يَکْرَهُ أَنْ يُقْذَفَ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2624
Narrated Anas bin Malik: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: There are three things for which whomever has them, then he has tasted the sweetness of faith: The one for whom Allah and His Messenger are more beloved than anything else; whoever loves someone and he does not love him except for the sake of Allah, and whoever hates to return to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it, just as he hates to be thrown into fire.
