[Machine] "On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: David ﷺ asked his Lord, 'O Lord, I ask you for your love, the love of those who love you, and the action that will bring me closer to your love. O Lord, make your love dearer to me than myself, my family, and cold water.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whenever David is mentioned and narrated about, it is said, he was the most devout among humans.' This hadith has an authentic chain of narration and was not mentioned by Abdullah ibn Yazid al-Damashqi. These words were said by Ahmad bin Hanbal, who considered them fabricated."
