Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، 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 ‏"‏‏.‏

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us. He said: Abd al-Wahhab al-Thaqafi narrated to us. He said: Ayyub narrated to us, from Abu Qilaba, from Anas, 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 person, loving him only for Allah's sake; and that he hate returning to disbelief as much as he hates being cast into the Fire.’
