Explanation of the Hadith: The Strongest Bonds of Faith are Love for the Sake of Allah and Hatred for the Sake of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I hope you will explain the meaning of this hadith:
The strongest bonds of faith are love for the sake of Allah and hatred for the sake of Allahأوثق عرى الإيمان الحب في الله، والبغض في الله
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 24:135
?

Answer:
"The strongest bonds of faith" means the strongest ties of faith that one holds onto: love for the sake of Allah. You love a person not for any other reason, but for the sake of Allah; because he is a righteous man, because Allah loves him, so you love him. This is among the strongest bonds of faith that one holds onto. And hatred for the sake of Allah: you hate him because Allah hates him; because he is one who opposes the command of Allah, who is heedless in the obedience of Allah, so you hate him for that reason. Yes.
