His Love

In Al-Muwatta', Imam Malik gives a report with a saheeh isnad from Abu Idris al-Khawlaani who said:

"I entered the mosque of Damascus, where I saw a young man who had a bright smile, and I saw the people gathered around him. When they disagreed on some matter, they referred it to him, and accepted his opinion.
I asked who he was, and they told me, 'This is Mu'aadh ibn Jabal r.a'.

Early the next day, I went to the mosque but I found that he had arrived even earlier than I.
He was praying, so I waited until he had finished, then I approached him from the front side, greeted him and said,
"By Allah, I love you."
He asked, "For the sake of Allah?"
I said, "For the sake of Allah."
He repeated, "For the sake of Allah?"
And I said, "For the sake of Allah."

So he took my hold of my collar, pulled me towards him and said, "I have good news for you. I heard the prophet s.a.w say:

"Allah says: 'My Love is granted to those who love one another for My sake, who visit one another for My sake, and who spend on one another for My sake.'"
