The Necessity of Loving the Prophet
Acceptance of his Advice and Advising him when Appropriate
Allah says, "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your tribes, the property you have acquired, the merchandise you fear will not be sold, and the homes you love are dearer to you than Allah, His Messenger and the struggling for His Way, then wait until Allah shall bring His command" (9:24).
This verse demonstrates encouragement, advice, proof and indication of the necessity to love Prophet Muhammad . It is also sufficient to demonstrate that this duty is of tremendous proportion. It is an obligation and the right of the Prophet .
You will have observed how Allah reprimands those whose love of relatives and property are dearer to them than Allah and His Messenger . Allah concludes His warning with the threatening words "then wait until Allah shall bring His command." And from this it is understood that those whose love is other than for Allah and His Messenger are astray and are not guided by Allah.
Anas tells us that one day the Prophet told his Companions, "None of you will believe until I am more beloved to him than his children, his father and all people."
Anas also reported, "There are three things that if someone were to seek refuge in them they would experience the sweetness of belief. They are that Allah, and His Messenger are more beloved to him than anything else; that he loves a person only for the sake of Allah, and he loathes the notion of reverting to disbelief as much as he would loathe to be cast into the Fire."
One day Omar, Al Khattab's son went to the Prophet and told him, "I love you more than anything except my soul which is between my two sides." The Prophet replied, "None of you will believe until I am dearer to him than his own soul." Omar immediately replied, "By the One who sent down the Book to you, I love you more than my soul which is between my two sides." The Prophet replied, "Omar, you have reached it."
