محمدٌ رسول الله والذين معه أشداء على الكفار رحماء بينهمAnd He said:
And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them
والذين تبوءوا الدار والإيمان من قبلهم يحبون من هاجر إليهمAnd from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:
There are three qualities for which anyone who is characterised by them will relish the sweetness of faith: he to whom Allah and His Messenger are dearer than all else; he who loves a man for Allah's sake alone; and he who has as great an abhorrence of returning to unbelief after Allah has rescued him from it as he has of being cast into Hell.
ثلاث من كن فيه وجد بهن حلاوة الإيمان : أن يكون اللهُ ورسولُه أحب إليه مما سواهما ، وأن يحب المرء لا يحبه إلا لله ، وأن يكره أن يعود في الكفر بعد أن أنقذه الله منه كما يكره أن يقذف في النارAnd from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:

(7) a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears.
