Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is love exclusively for Allah, or is it shared between Allah and His Messenger?
Answer:
It is exclusive to Allah. The love that is accompanied by humility and submission to the one loved is exclusive to Allah. As for the love that is not accompanied by humility and submission, that is shared, because it is a natural love, just as you love money, you love your wife, and you love your children, but you do not humble yourselves before them or submit to them. Yes.
