ذِكْرُ الِاسْتِحْبَابِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يُعْلِمَ أَخَاهُ مَحَبَّتَهُ إِيَّاهُ لِلَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا

[Machine] I heard Ibn Umar say: While I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ , a man came and greeted him, then he left. So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I love him for the sake of Allah." He said, "Did you inform him of that?" I said, "No." He said, "Then inform him that your brother loves him for the sake of Allah." So I followed the man and caught up with him, and I held onto his shoulder, and greeted him. I said, "By Allah, I love you for the sake of Allah." He replied, "By Allah, I love you for the sake of Allah." I said, "If the Prophet ﷺ did not command me to inform you, I would not have done so."  

ابن حبّان:٥٦٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَزْرَقُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَبُو الْجَهْمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَمُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ بَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ وَلَّى عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ هَذَا لِلَّهِ قَالَ «فَهَلْ أَعْلَمْتَهُ ذَاكَ؟ » قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ «فَأَعْلِمْ ذَاكَ أَخَاكَ» قَالَ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِمَنْكِبِهِ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ لِلَّهِ قَالَ هُوَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ لِلَّهِ قُلْتُ لَوْلَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُعْلِمُكَ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ

[Machine] I heard Ibn Umar say, while I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ, a man came and greeted him and then left. So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, I love that man." He said, "Did you inform him?" I said, "No." He said, "Then go and inform him that you love him for the sake of Allah." So I went to him and greeted him, then I took hold of his shoulder and said, "I swear by Allah, I love you for the sake of Allah." He replied, "May Allah love you too." Then I said, "If the Prophet ﷺ did not command me to inform you, I would not have done so."
