00:00:00,850 --> 00:00:06,150
Established Sunnahs of the Prophet:

2
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:11,730
Visiting one another for the sake of Allah.

3
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:14,730
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him),

4
00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:17,929
from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

5
00:00:17,929 --> 00:00:22,230
that a man visited a brother of his in another village.

6
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:26,429
So Allah stationed an angel along his path—

7
00:00:26,429 --> 00:00:29,629
meaning He placed him on the road to wait for him.

8
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,759
When the angel came upon him, he asked,

9
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:34,560
"Where are you heading?"

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:35,659
He replied,

11
00:00:35,659 --> 00:00:39,460
"I intend to visit a brother of mine in this village."

12
00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:40,560
The angel asked,

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,420
"Do you owe him any favor that you seek to foster or reciprocate?"

14
00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:45,520
He replied,

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,619
"No,

16
00:00:46,619 --> 00:00:50,920
except that I love him for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,020
The angel said,

18
00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:54,719
"Indeed, I am a messenger sent by Allah to you

19
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:59,909
to inform you that Allah loves you just as you have loved him for His sake."
