<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Loving the Ansār is part of faith, and hating them is one of the branches of hypocrisy and ingratitude. They are the ones who supported the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and the immigrants, may Allah be pleased with them all.<br>
2) Loving the allies of Allah Almighty and supporting them is a reason for attaining the love of Allah Almighty.<br>
<br>
<b>Benefit:</b><br>
Imam Al-Tahāwi (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “We love the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). We do not exaggerate in our love for any of them, nor do we disown any of them. We hate whoever hates them and speaks ill of them. We say only good things about them. Loving them is part of religion, faith, and good doing, whereas hating them is disbelief, hypocrisy, and transgression.”
