Strongest Rope of Faith


عن أبي عبدالله عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لاصحابه: أي عرى الايمان أوثق؟ فقالوا: الله ورسوله أعلم، وقال بعضهم: الصلاة وقال بعضهم: الزكاة وقال بعضهم: الصيام وقال بعضهم: الحج والعمرة وقال بعضهم: الجهاد، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لكل ما قلتم فضل وليس به ولكن أوثق عرى الايمان الحب في الله والبغض في الله وتوالي أولياء الله و التبري من أعداء الله


“Narrated Imam Sadiq (as) that the Holy prophet (saww) asked his companions. What is the strongest rope of Eeman (faith). The companions said "Allah and his Prophet know best". Few companions said Salaat (prayers), few said zakat, few said Fasting, few said Hajj, and few said Jihad. The Prophet (saww) said "All that who have said are merits but not the strongest rope of Eeman (faith). The strongest rope of Eeman (faith) is “loving for Allah and hating for Allah and befriending the friends of Allah and enmity with the enemies of Allah.”
