tareeqat

"It is narrated by Mu‘?dh bin Jabal that he heard the Messenger of All?h (??? ???? ???? ???? ????) saying:

   All?h the Exalted and Almighty said: ‘My love has been made obligatory for those two persons who love each other on My count and spend time together for My sake, and see each other for My sake and give money to each other generously for My sake.’"

This sah?h (sound) had?th narrated by M?lik bin Anas in al-Muwatt?, b. of sha‘ar (hair) ch.5 (2:954#16), and Ibn ‘Abd-ul-Barr said its chain is good. Ahmad bin Hambal also transmitted it in his Musnad (5:233); H?kim in al-Mustadrak (4:169), who graded it sah?h, and also confirmed by Dhahab?; Baghaw? in Sharh-us-sunnah, (13:49-50#3463); Khat?b Tabr?z? in Mishk?t-ul-mas?b?h, b. of ?d?b (good manners) ch.16 (3:75#5011).
