[Machine] We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Which garment of Islam is the most secure?" They said, "Prayer." He said, "Good, but what is there in it?" They said, "Charity." He said, "Good, but what is there in it?" They said, "Fasting in Ramadan." He said, "Good, but what is there in it?" They said, "Hajj." He said, "Good, but what is there in it?" They said, "Jihad." He said, "The most secure garment of faith is: to love for the sake of Allah and to hate for the sake of Allah."  

أحمد:١٨٥٢٤حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِسْلَامِ أَوْثَقُ؟ قَالُوا الصَّلَاةُ قَالَ حَسَنَةٌ وَمَا هِيَ بِهَا؟ قَالُوا الزَّكَاةُ قَالَ حَسَنَةٌ وَمَا هِيَ بِهَا؟ قَالُوا صِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ حَسَنٌ وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ؟ قَالُوا الْحَجُّ قَالَ حَسَنٌ وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ؟ قَالُوا الْجِهَادُ قَالَ حَسَنٌ وَمَا هُوَ بِهِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ أَوْثَقَ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ أَنْ تُحِبَّ فِي اللهِ وَتُبْغِضَ فِي اللهِ
