Love for Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam)

لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ وَوَالِدِهِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ
Rasulullah ﷺ said:

"None of you can possess complete Imān until I am more beloved to him than his children, his parents, and all of mankind."
(Sahih Muslim)


(This love is incumbent) due to the fact that Nabi ﷺ was the means of our salvation from the fire of Jahannam, and through him were we guided to the straight path.."
(Sharḥ an-Nawawī 'alā Muslim, 2/16)
