وعن معاذ أنه سأل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن أفضل الإيمان قال: أن تحب لله وتبغض لله وتعمل لسانك في ذكر الله قال: وماذا يا رسول الله قال: وأن تحب للناس ما تحب لنفسك وتكره لهم ما تكره لنفسك (مسند أحمد رقم 22130)

It has been reported from Hazrat Mu’aaz bin Jabal (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) that on one occasion, he asked Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) regarding the most virtuous actions of Imaan. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “(The most virtuous actions are) that you love (people) for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala, you have hatred and enmity (for people) for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala, and you keep your tongue engaged in the remembrance of Allah Ta‘ala.” Hazrat Mu’aaz (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) then asked, “And besides this, is there any other action, O Rasul of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) answered, “And that you love for people what you love for yourself, and you dislike for them what you dislike for yourself.”
