We came to Anas bin Malik and said, "Narrate to us what you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Three qualities, whoever possesses them is forbidden from the Fire and the Fire is forbidden from him: faith in Allah, love of Allah, and that being thrown into the Fire and burned is more beloved to him than returning to disbelief.'"
حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد
دخلنا على أنس بن مالك فقلنا حدثنا بما سمعت من رسول الله ﷺ قال سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول ثلاث من كن فيه حرم على النار وحرمت النار عليه إيمان بالله وحب الله وأن يلقى في النار فيحرق أحب إليه من أن يرجع في الكفر
