حَلاَوَةِ الإِيمَانِ

The sweetness of faith

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " ثَلاَثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ حَلاَوَةَ الإِيمَانِ أَنْ يَكُونَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا، وَأَنْ يُحِبَّ الْمَرْءَ لاَ يُحِبُّهُ إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ، وَأَنْ يَكْرَهَ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِي الْكُفْرِ كَمَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُقْذَفَ فِي النَّارِ ".

Translation

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet ﷺ said: “There are three things: whoever has them finds the sweetness of faith (iman): that Allah and His Messenger are dearer to him than anything besides them; that he loves a person and loves him only for the sake of Allah; and that he hates to return to disbelief as he would hate to be thrown into the Fire.”

Anas ibn Malik berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „Es gibt drei Dinge: Wer sie in sich hat, findet die Süße des Glaubens: dass Allah und Sein Gesandter ihm lieber sind als alles andere außer ihnen; dass er einen Menschen liebt und ihn nur um Allahs willen liebt; und dass er es verabscheut, zum Unglauben zurückzukehren, so wie er es verabscheut, ins Feuer geworfen zu werden.“

Enes b. Mâlik (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Üç şey vardır ki, kimde bulunursa imanın tadını bulur: Allah ve Resûlü'nün kendisine onlardan başka her şeyden daha sevimli olması, bir kimseyi sadece Allah için sevmesi ve ateşe atılmaktan hoşlanmadığı gibi küfre dönmekten de hoşlanmaması.”
