Love for the Sake of Allah and Hate for the Sake of Allah
Al-Kāfi|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 60
5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الْحُبِّ وَالْبُغْضِ أَ مِنَ الإيمَانِ هُوَ فَقَالَ وَهَلِ الإيمَانُ إِلا الْحُبُّ وَالْبُغْضُ ثُمَّ تَلا هَذِهِ الآيَةَ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ الإيمانَ وَزَيَّنَهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَكَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوقَ وَالْعِصْيانَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الرَّاشِدُونَ.
5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Fudayl ibnYasar who has said the following: “I asked Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام ‘Are love and hate part of belief?’ The Imam asked, ‘Is belief anything but love and hate?’ He then read the words of Allah, ‘. . . But Allah has endeared belief to you and has made it attractive to your hearts. He has made disbelief, evil deeds and disobedience hateful to you. Such people will have the right guidance.’” (49:7)
