Expressing Love for Allah's Sake

SUMMARY: A man expressed his love for another man, and the Prophet (PBUH) advised him to inform the other man of his love.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: A man was with the Prophet and a man passed by him and said: Messenger of Allah! I love this man. The Messenger of Allah then asked: Have you informed him? He replied: #He said: Inform him. He then went to him and said: I love you for Allah's sake. He replied: May He for Whose sake you love me love you!
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، كَانَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لأُحِبُّ هَذَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ أَعْلَمْتَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَعْلِمْهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَلَحِقَهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ فِي اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about expressing love for one another in a way that pleases Allah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was with a companion when they saw someone else pass by. The companion said he loved this person, and the Prophet ﷺ asked if he had told them yet. He replied no, so the Prophet ﷺ instructed him to tell them of his love. The companion went up to the person and said “I love you for Allah’s sake”, to which they replied “May He for Whose sake you love me, loves you”. This hadith teaches us that we should express our feelings of affection towards others in a way that pleases God; it also shows us how powerful it can be when we express our feelings honestly and openly with each other. We should strive to show our appreciation and admiration towards those around us in ways that are pleasing to God so that we can reap His blessings as well as those from those around us who will appreciate our sincerity and honesty.
