[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me and said, "O Ibn Mas'ood!" I said, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He repeated it three times and then said, "Do you know which branch of faith is the strongest?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "The strongest branch of Islam is love and hatred in it."  

الطبراني:١٠٥٣١aحَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ الْعَيْشِيُّ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ قَالَا ثنا الصَّعِقُ بْنُ حَزْنٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَقِيلٌ الْجَعْدِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيِّ عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ
