(249) بَابُ إِذَا أَحَبَّ رَجُلا فَلا يُمَارِهِ ولا يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, said, "Anyone who has love for his brother in Allahand for Allah should say, 'I love you for Allah,' and they will both enterthe Garden. The one who has love for someone in Allah has a degree overthe one he loves because of his love."
