The Shaykh :"And he is the one who is prioritized in our love over our ***parents, spouses, and children"
Yes, it is obligatory for us to prioritize the love of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) over the love of our parents, spouses, and children, indeed
"over all people, even over the ***self that the two sides of the body enclose"
We prioritize his love over ourselves, and the sign of that is that you imagine if his words conflicted with the words of your wife, you would prioritize his words; if his words conflicted with the words of your father, you would prioritize the words of the Messenger; if his words conflicted with what your soul desires, you would prioritize his words. This is a sign of love: prioritizing his words is a sign of love for him (peace and blessings be upon him).
