Soften the Hearts

No. 1095 – From Abu Rashid al-Hubraani who said: Abu Umama al-Bahili took me by the hand and said: the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) took me by my hand and said to me: ‘O Abu Umama! Indeed from the believers are those who soften (with love) their hearts towards me.’

Shaykh Albaani, rahimahUllah said:

And the meaning of ‘soften their hearts towards me’ is that they are gentle and incline towards me with love and affection and Allaah knows best. And this cannot be achieved except with Ikhlaas (sincerity) and following the Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) more than any other human being, because Allaah Ta’ala singled that out as an evidence to prove that a person really loves Allaah –Azza wa Jal.
