ahmad:13959Rawḥ > Shuʿbah > Qatādah > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "None of you truly believes until Allah and His Messenger are dearer to him than anything else, until he loves to be thrown into the fire rather than go back to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it, and until he loves me more than his children, parents, and all people."  

أحمد:١٣٩٥٩حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا وَحَتَّى يُقْذَفَ فِي النَّارِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِي كُفْرٍ بَعْدَ إِذْ نَجَّاهُ اللهُ مِنْهُ وَلَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ وَوَالِدِهِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ
