Sahih al-Bukhari 21
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " ثَلاَثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ حَلاَوَةَ الإِيمَانِ مَنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ عَبْدًا لاَ يُحِبُّهُ إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ، وَمَنْ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِي الْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنْقَذَهُ اللَّهُ، كَمَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ ".

Sulayman ibn Harb narrated to us. He said: Shu'ba narrated to us, from Qatada, from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘There are three qualities which, when present in a person, let him find the sweetness of faith: that Allah and His Messenger be more beloved to him than anything else; that he love a servant, loving him only for Allah's sake; and that he hate returning to disbelief after Allah has rescued him from it, as much as he hates being cast into the Fire.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
This wording explicitly says that Allah rescued him from disbelief before the person hates returning to it.
