Al-Kāfi - The Book of Belief and Disbelief Chapter: Love for the Sake of Allah and Hate for the Sake of Allah 5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَ٠َّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلا٠) عَنِ الْحُبِّ وَالْبُغْضِ أَ ٠َانِ هُوَ فَقَالَ وَهَلِ الإي٠َانُ إِلا الْحُبُّ وَالْبُغْضُ ثُ٠َّ تَلا هَذِهِ الآيَةَ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُ٠انَ وَزَيَّنَهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُ٠ْ وَكَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُ٠ُ الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوقَ وَالْعِصْيانَ أُولئِكَ هُ٠5.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Fudayl ibnYasar who has said the following: “I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘Are love and hate part of belief?’ The Imam asked, ‘Is belief anything but love and hate?’ He then read the words of Allah, ‘... But Allah has endeared belief to you and has made it attractive to your hearts. He has made disbelief, evil deeds and disobedience hateful to you.

Such people will have the right guidance.’” (49:7) حسن كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/259))
