Sunan Ibn Majah 140 (Book) #37042
Loving People for the Sake of Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of loving people for the sake of Allah and because of their closeness to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

It was narrated that 'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib said: "We used to come across groups of Quraish who would be talking, but they would stop talking (when we approached). We mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah and he said: 'What is the matter with people who talk, then when they see a man from my family they stop talking? By Allah, faith will not enter a person's heart until he loves them for the sake of Allah and because of their closeness to me'."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ النَّخَعِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَلْقَى النَّفَرَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَيَقْطَعُونَ حَدِيثَهُمْ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَإِذَا رَأَوُا الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي قَطَعُوا حَدِيثَهُمْ وَاللَّهِ لاَ يَدْخُلُ قَلْبَ رَجُلٍ الإِيمَانُ حَتَّى يُحِبَّهُمْ لِلَّهِ وَلِقَرَابَتِهِمْ مِنِّي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of loving people for the sake of Allah and because faith will not enter a person's heart until he loves them. It was narrated by 'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib, who said that when they used to come across groups from Quraish, they would stop talking when they saw someone from Prophet Muhammad's family. The Prophet then said that faith will not enter a person's heart until he loves them for the sake of Allah and because of their closeness to him.
