Sweetness (delight) of faith
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ï·º) said, "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.
3. Who hates to revert to Atheism (disbelief) as he hates to be
thrown into the fire"
Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Belief 14/1, Sweetness
(delight) of faith, Hadith: 16
It is reported on the authority of Anas that the Prophet of Allah
(May peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There are three qualities for which anyone who is characterized 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.
Sahih Muslim, The Book of Faith, Chapter: Clarification of those
characteristics which, if a person attains them, he will find the sweetness of
faith 66/1, Hadith: 43
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
that the Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said: "There are
three things for which whomever has them, then he has tasted the sweetness of
faith: The one for whom Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to thank
anything else; whoever loves someone and he does not love him except for the
sake of Allah, and whoever hates to return to disbelief after Allah has saved
him from it, just as he hates to be thrown into fire."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi, the Book on Faith, Hadith: 19
