حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ ثَوْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي حَبِيبُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ، (وَقَدْ

كَانَ أَدْرَكَهُ) عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَحَبَّ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُخْبِرْهُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّهُ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: When a man loves his brother, he should tell him that he loves him.

আল-মিকদাম ইবনু মা‘দীকারিব (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি তার কোনো মুসলিম ভাইকে ভালবাসে, তার উচিৎ তাকে তাঁর ভালবাসা সম্পর্কে অবহিত করা।[1] সহীহ।

مقدام بن معد یکرب رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: جب آدمی اپنے بھائی سے محبت رکھے تو اسے چاہیئے کہ وہ اسے بتا دے کہ وہ اس سے محبت رکھتا ہے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musaddad] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya] dari [Tsaur] ia berkata; telah menceritakan kepadaku [Habib bin Ubaid] dari [Al Miqdam bin Ma'diKarib] -dan Habib pernah bertemu dengan Al Miqdam- dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jika seorang laki-laki menyukai saudaranya, maka hendaklah ia mengabarkan kepadanya bahwa ia menyukainya

el-Mikdam b. Ma'dikerib'den (rivayet edildiğine göre) Nebi (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurmuştur: Bir kimse (din) kardeşini sevdiği zaman kendisini sevdiğini ona bildirsin." Tahric edenler: Tirmizî, zühd; Ahmed b. Hanbel, IV

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) demonstrates one of the means that strengthens the bond between the believers and spreads love among them: If a person loves his fellow Muslim, he should tell him that he loves him.

What it teaches

  • It points out the merit of love being purely for Allah's sake, not for worldly interests.
  • It is recommended to tell the one you love for Allah's sake that you love him. This will increase your love and friendliness.
  • Spreading love among the believers boosts their fraternity in faith, and protects society from disintegration and disunity.
