What is the meaning of love for the sake of Allah and hatred for the sake of Allah

Question : Shaykh Muhammad, this questioner says in his question: What is the meaning of love for the sake of Allah and hatred for the sake of Allah? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you.

Answer : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. Love has many causes, among which is kinship, such as a man’s love for his children; and among them is enjoyment and companionship, such as the love of spouses for one another; and among them is good character, such as a person loving someone for his good character and gentleness; and among them is hoping for benefit in wealth or status, such as the poor person’s love for the rich person; and among them is faith, such as the believers’ love for one another in their inner selves. This is the best of these types, the most complete and the finest, and it is what represents the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “The believers in their mutual love, mercy, and compassion are like one body; when one part of it complains, the rest of the body responds with fever and sleeplessness.” This is the love for Allah the Exalted and Majestic, and that is by there being no connection between a person and the one he loves other than the connection of religion. He is not a relative of his, and he does not hope for benefit from him in wealth or status or anything else, but rather he loves him for the sake of Allah the Exalted and Majestic because he is a believer in Allah the Exalted, upholding His commands, and adhering to His Shari'ah. This is the love that is beneficial in this world and the Hereafter, as Allah Blessed and Exalted is He said: . As for hatred, it also has multiple causes, the greatest of which is that you hate a man because he is negligent in the religion of Allah the Exalted, careless with His commands, and bold in transgressing His prohibitions, so you hate him for that. But let it be known that if this occurs from a Muslim, it is not permissible for us to hate him with absolute hatred; rather, we hate him according to the sins he has. At that point, love for him and hatred for him coexist in our hearts: we love him for the faith he has, and thereby we distinguish him from the disbeliever; but we dislike him for the sins he has, and thereby we distinguish him from the believer who is complete in faith.
Some people have been harsh in this matter, so they came to hate a man with absolute hatred when they see him committing a sin that does not take him out of faith. This is contrary to the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community, because the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community is based on justice and fairness: they love a man for the faith and good he has, and they dislike him for the disbelief and evil he has. Others have been lenient, so they loved a person with absolute love while he persists in sins, and they came to make no distinction between the righteous one who has many good deeds and the man who is negligent and careless with the command of Allah the Exalted and Majestic and violates His prohibitions. This is also contrary to the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community and contrary to justice.
So hatred for the sake of Allah is partial. It may be absolute hatred, like our hatred of the disbeliever and the pure hypocrite. And it may be qualified hatred accompanied by love, such as our hatred of the one who commits sins, if he
