It is commendable to inform those whom one loves for Allah's sake, of this love

It is commendable to inform those whom one loves for Allah's sake, of this love


Mu`adh (bin Jabal) (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) held my hand and said, "O Mu`adh, By Allah, I love you and advise you not to miss supplicating after every Salat (prayer) saying: `Allahumma a`inni `ala dhikrika wa shukrika, wa husni `ibadatika,' (O Allah, help me remember You, expressing gratitude to You and worship You in the best manner)". [Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i]


Commentary:  We learn from this Hadith the following:
1. It is commendable to inform those whom one loves for Allah's sake, of this love.
2. The superiority of Mu`adh.
3. It is commendable to say this Du`a after each obligatory Salat.
4. It is commendable to seek Allah's Help in order to discharge one's duties towards Allah in the best possible manner.
Ref.: Imam Al-Nawawi's Riyad-us-Saliheen # 384.

Advise in secret and don't humiliate one another!
Abud-Darda (radhiya Allahu anh) said: 
The one who advises his brother in secret has beautified him and the one who advises his brother openly has uglified him.
(al-Amr bil-Ma ruf wan-Nahi an-il-Munkar, p. 39, by Imam Abu Bakr al-Khallal)
