The knowledgeable scholar Abu Mohammad narrated from Abu Sahl Mohammad bin Ahmad bin Ibrahim Al-Felfeli, from Husain bin Hasan, from Mohammad bin Idris Al-Hanz’ali, from Hasan bin Abdul Rahim, from Saeed bin Abi Nasr Al-Sokooni, from Ibn Abi Leyla, from Hakam, from Abdul Rahman bin Abi Leyla, from his father, who said:
The Messenger of ALLAH (SAWW) said:
No slave of ALLAH (SWT) is considered to be a believer unless he loves me more than he loves himself, and loves my family more than he loves his own family, and loves my progeny more than he loves his own progeny, and loves my identical counterpart (the Commander of the Believers (ASWS)) more than he loves himself.
(Bihar Al-Anwar 27:86. Elal Al Sharae 58,133. Amaali of Sadouq 274)
