"ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ فَقَدْ ذَاقَ طَعْمَ الإِيمَانِ: مَنْ كَانَ لَا شَىْء أَحَبَّ إِليْهِ مِنَ اللَّه وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمنْ كَانَ أنْ يُحْرَقَ بالنَّارِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْه منْ أَنْ يَرتدَّ عَنْ دِينهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُحبُّ للَّه، وَيبْغضُ للَّه".

There are three qualities for which any one who is characterised by them will relish the savour of faith: that he loves man and he does not love him but for Allah's sake alone; he is to whom Allah and His Messenger are dearer than all else; he who prefers to be thrown into fire than to return to unbelief after Allah has rescued him out of it.  

مسلم:٤٣bحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلاَثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ طَعْمَ الإِيمَانِ مَنْ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الْمَرْءَ لاَ يُحِبُّهُ إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ وَمَنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا وَمَنْ كَانَ أَنْ يُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي الْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَنْقَذَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ

“There are three things, whoever has them has found the taste of faith (One of the narrators) Bundar said: ‘The sweetness of faith; When he loves a man and only loves him for the sake of Allah. When Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than anything else; and when being thrown into the fire is dearer to him than going back to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it.”

[Machine] He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There are three things that if a person possesses, he has tasted the sweetness of faith: to love nothing more than Allah, to love being thrown into the fire more than turning back on his religion, and to love for the sake of Allah and to hate for the sake of Allah."

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ فَقَدْ ذَاقَ طَعْمَ الْإِيمَانِ مَنْ كَانَ لَا شَيْءَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ اللهِ وَمَنْ كَانَ أَنْ يُحْرَقَ بِالنَّارِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَرْتَدَّ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُحِبُّ لِلَّهِ وَيُبْغِضُ لِلَّهِ
