«إذا أحب أحدكم صاحبه فليأته في منزله فليخبره أنه يحبه لله» .
(صحيح) … [حم الضياء] عن أبي ذر. الصحيحة 418, 797: ابن المبارك في الزهد, ابن وهب في الجامع)
It is narrated from the words of Abu Zarr that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“If any of you loves your companion, let him come to his house and tell him that he loves him for the sake of Allah.” This hadith was narrated by Ahmad 5/145 and ad-Diya al-Maqdisi.
Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic. See Saheeh al-jami ‘as-saghir 281.
