Hadith 658:57

Isma'il narrated to us, Layth narrated to us, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, from Mu'awiyah ibn Suwayd ibn Muqarrin, from Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, who said: We were sitting with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he said: "Which of the bonds of Islam is the most secure?" They said: "Prayer." He said: "It is good, but it is not that." They said: "Zakat." He said: "It is good, but it is not that." They said: "Fasting Ramadan." He said: "It is good, but it is not that." They said: "Hajj." He said: "It is good, but it is not that." They said: "Jihad." He said: "It is good, but it is not that." He said: "The most secure bond of faith is that you love for the sake of Allah and hate for the sake of Allah."

حدثنا إسماعيل، حدثنا ليث، عن عمرو بن مرة، عن معاوية بن سويد بن مقرن، عن البراء بن عازب، قال: كنا جلوسا عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: " أي عرى الإسلام أوثق؟ "، قالوا: الصلاة، قال: " حسنة، وما هي بها؟ " قالوا: الزكاة، قال: " حسنة، وما هي بها؟ " قالوا: صيام رمضان. قال: " حسن، وما هو به؟ " قالوا: الحج، قال: " حسن، وما هو به؟ " قالوا: الجهاد، قال: " حسن، وما هو به؟ " قال: " إن أوثق عرى الإيمان أن تحب في الله، وتبغض في الله "
