Commentary on the Hadith: {The strongest bond of faith is love for the sake of Allah and hatred for the sake of Allah}

Question:
He says: Regarding the hadith , is there any commentary on this hadith?

Answer:
Yes, this is al-wala' wa al-bara' (loyalty and disavowal) in Islam: that you show loyalty to the believers and disavow disbelief, shirk (associating partners with Allah), the disbelievers, and the polytheists. You love those whom Allah loves, and you hate and oppose those whom Allah opposes and hates, namely the disbelievers and polytheists. The innovators who deliberately engage in innovation are included with them; these are the ones who are hated for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, and one should avoid their path.
Al-wala' wa al-bara' is a great gate in Islam, for there is no religion except with al-wala' wa al-bara'. As for the one who does not distinguish between the believer and the disbeliever, and between the obedient and the disobedient, and equates between them, saying they are brothers in humanity, or something similar to that, this is from ignorance and from denying this gate, the gate of al-wala' wa al-bara'. Yes.
