Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates: Nabi (peace be upon him) said: A person set out to visit his (Muslim) brother in another village and Allah sent an angel to wait for him on his way. (When this man reached the angel) the angel asked: Where are you heading? He replied: I am heading for a brother of mine in this village. The angel asked: Does he owe you something, which you want to get back? The man replied: No. I just love him for the sake of Allah. The angel said: I am Allah’s courier (informer) to you, to inform you that Allah loves you just as you love him for His sake.

**Note: **When we love others for ourselves, we become selfish and we easily get hurt by that person, if that person doesn’t behaves according to our expectations. The greatest relationships are made in this world and greatest rewards are give in the life hereafter, only when people love their relatives and friends for the love of Allah (swt).
May Allah (swt) bless us all with the wisdom to love for the love of Allah.
