Musnad Ahmad 1376 (Book 5, Hadith 775) #35001
Loving & Hating the Prophet (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) warned against two types of people who will be doomed because of him, one who loves him too much and praises him for things he does not have, and one who hates him and tells lies against him.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Prophet said to me: "You are like Eesa (in some way); the Jews hated him so much that they made false accusations against his mother, and the Christians loved him so much that they raised him to a status that is not appropriate for him". Then he said: Two types of men will be doomed because of me: one who loves me and goes to extremes and praises me for that which I do not have, and one who hates me and his hatred of me makes him tell lies against me.
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ أَبُو الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ الْأَبَّارُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ حَصِيرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَادِقٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ نَاجِذٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ فِيكَ مَثَلٌ مِنْ عِيسَى أَبْغَضَتْهُ الْيَهُودُ حَتَّى بَهَتُوا أُمَّهُ وَأَحَبَّتْهُ النَّصَارَى حَتَّى أَنْزَلُوهُ بِالْمَنْزِلَةِ الَّتِي لَيْسَ بِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَهْلِكُ فِيَّ رَجُلَانِ مُحِبٌّ مُفْرِطٌ يُقَرِّظُنِي بِمَا لَيْسَ فِيَّ وَمُبْغِضٌ يَحْمِلُهُ شَنَآنِي عَلَى أَنْ يَبْهَتَنِي‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive to maintain a balance in our emotions towards others .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about loving and hating the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ warned us that there are two types of people who will be doomed because of Him; those who love Him too much to the point where they praise Him for things He does not have, and those who hate Him so much that they tell lies against Him. We should neither love nor hate anyone to extremes as this can lead us astray from the right path. We should instead strive to maintain a balance in our emotions towards others, especially when it comes to loving or hating the Prophet ﷺ. We must remember that we should only love or hate someone based on their actions rather than their identity or status in society.
