The questioner: All right, my Shaykh, regarding the hadith.
-- The Shaykh: Are the group ready?Another questioner: No --
The questioner:Sahih al-Bukhari 16 , this hadith with the hadith: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1997Hasan (Darussalam) , is there a slight nuance between the two?
The Shaykh: No - my brother - , there is no contradiction between the two. That:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1997Hasan (Darussalam) does not mean you do not love him fully for the sake of Allah, but rather that you do not act with him practically as if he were, for example, a Prophet; so that there is no fear that he might turn, for example. As for the love itself, when its cause is present, it must be complete; meaning, it is only a matter of caution.
The questioner: Caution means you do not withhold from him, meaning for what reason?
The Shaykh: You do not withhold from him, it does not mean that your love for him leads to misleading him, and so on.
The questioner: And you elevate him greatly ... .
-- The Shaykh: Are the group ready?Another questioner: No --
The questioner:
Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness (delight) of faith: 1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else. 2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah's sake.

Love your beloved moderately
