Hadith: None of you truly believes until I become dearer to him than his father, his children, and all people
عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:
«لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَالِدِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ».

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"None of you truly believes until I become dearer to him than his father, his children, and all people."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim] - [Sahih Bukhari - 15]
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs us that a Muslim cannot attain complete faith until he gives precedence to the love of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) over the love of his mother, father, son, daughter, and all people. This love entails obeying and supporting him and refraining from disobedience to him.
Benefits from the Hadith

- A sign of complete love is to support the Prophet's Sunnah and sacrifice one's life and wealth for this purpose.
- Love for the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entails obeying his commands, believing what he said, avoiding what he prohibited and forbade, and following him and abandoning religious innovations.
- The Prophet's right is greater and more emphatic than all other people, for he was a reason for guiding us, saving us from Hellfire, and making us win Paradise.
