[Machine] He (the questioner) asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the best of faith? He (the Prophet) said, "The best of faith is to love for the sake of Allah, and to hate for the sake of Allah, and to let your tongue work in the remembrance of Allah." He (the questioner) asked, "And what is it, O Messenger of Allah?" He (the Prophet) said, "To love for people what you love for yourself, and to dislike for them what you dislike for yourself, and to say what is good or to remain silent."

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَفْضَلِ الْإِيمَانِ؟ قَالَ «أَفْضَلُ الْإِيمَانِ أَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلَّهِ وَتُبْغِضَ لِلَّهِ وَتُعْمِلَ لِسَانَكَ فِي ذِكْرِ اللهِ» قَالَ وَمَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «وَأَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ وَتَكْرَهَ لَهُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ وَأَنْ تَقُولَ خَيْرًا أَوْ تَصْمُتَ»

"أفضلُ الإِيمانِ: أن تُحِبَّ لله، وتُبْغِضَ لله، وتُعْمِلَ لسانَكَ في ذِكرِ الله، وأن تحبَّ للناسِ ما تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِك، وتكرهَ لهم ما تكرهُ لنفسِك، وأَن تقول خيرًا أو تَصمتَ" .
