adab:260 –

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, you will not enter Paradise until you submit to Islam. And, you will not submit to Islam until you love one another. Extend the greeting to one another and you will love one another. Beware of hatred, for it is the razor. I do not tell you that it shaves the hair, but it shaves away the deen."  

الأدب المفرد:٢٦٠ – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُسْلِمُوا وَلاَ تُسْلِمُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا وَأَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ تَحَابُّوا وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْبُغْضَةَ فَإِنَّهَا هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ لاَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ تَحْلِقُ الشَّعْرَ وَلَكِنْ تَحْلِقُ الدِّينَ

Collected by Tirmidhī

Envy and hatred and lack of love between a nation is what severs the religion

tirmidhi:2510 – Sufyān b. Wakīʿ > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Mahdī > Ḥarb b. Shaddād > Yaḥyá b. Abū Kathīr > Yaʿīsh b. al-Walīd > a freed slave of al-Zubayr > al-Zubayr b. al-ʿAwwām

that the Prophet ﷺ, "The disease of the nations before you is creeping towards you: Envy and hatred ˹growing among you˺, it is the haliqah (razor). I'm not speaking of what shaves the hair, rather what severs the religion.

By the One in Whose Hand is my soul (Allah), you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love each other. Shall I tell you about what will strengthen that ˹love˺ between you? Spread ˹the greeting of˺ salam among each other."  

الترمذي:٢٥١٠ – حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ حَرْبِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ يَعِيشَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ أَنَّ مَوْلَى الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ حَدَّثَهُ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «دَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ دَاءُ الأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمُ: الْحَسَدُ وَالْبَغْضَاءُ، هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ! لاَ أَقُولُ تَحْلِقُ الشَّعْرَ، وَلَكِنْ تَحْلِقُ الدِّينَ۔»

«وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا، وَلاَ تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا۔ أَفَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا يُثَبِّتُ ذَاكُمْ لَكُمْ؟ أَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ بَيْنَكُمْ۔»  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ قَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ فَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ يَعِيشَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مَوْلَى الزُّبَيْرِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ
