The ruling on prioritizing the love of 'Abdullah over the love of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes. If a person prioritizes the love of 'Abdullah over the love of Allah and becomes a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), what are the consequences of that?

Answer:
It is considered shirk (associating partners with Allah) in love. If one equates Allah with others in love, it is shirk in love. However, if one prioritizes the love of a thing over the love of Allah, following only his own desires and the lust of his soul, he is considered a sinner. He is a sinner. Allah has threatened him with great evil in His saying:
then wait until Allah executes His commandفَتَرَبَّصُوا حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ
[At-Tawbah 9:24]
It is obligatory.
