00:00:00.850 --> 00:00:06.150
Established Sunnahs of the Prophet:

00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:11.730
Visiting one another for the sake of Allah.

00:00:11.730 --> 00:00:14.730
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:00:14.730 --> 00:00:17.929
from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

00:00:17.929 --> 00:00:22.230
that a man visited a brother of his in another village.

00:00:22.230 --> 00:00:26.429
So Allah stationed an angel along his path—

00:00:26.429 --> 00:00:29.629
meaning He placed him on the road to wait for him.

00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.759
When the angel came upon him, he asked,

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:34.560
"Where are you heading?"

00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:35.659
He replied,

00:00:35.659 --> 00:00:39.460
"I intend to visit a brother of mine in this village."

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:40.560
The angel asked,

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.420
"Do you owe him any favor that you seek to foster or reciprocate?"

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:45.520
He replied,

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:46.619
"No,

00:00:46.619 --> 00:00:50.920
except that I love him for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."

00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:52.020
The angel said,

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:54.719
"Indeed, I am a messenger sent by Allah to you

00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:59.909
to inform you that Allah loves you just as you have loved him for His sake."

00:00:59.909 --> 00:01:01.210
