hadith 606
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said that God's Prophet (a.s) asked his companions: “Which of the handles of faith is stronger?” They said: “God and his Prophet know best.” Some of them said: “Prayer”. Some said: “Alms”. Some said: “Pilgrimage” and others said “Holy Jihad.” God's Prophet (a.s) said: “Each of the things you mentioned has some nobility, but neither one is the right answer to my question. The strongest handle for faith is love for the sake of God, and animosity for God's sake. You must love God's friends and avoid God's enemies.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) لأصحابه: أي عرى الإيمان 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): كلما قلتم فضل وليس به، ولكن أوثق عرى الإيمان الحب في الله والبغض في الله، وأن توالي أولياء الله وتبرأ من أعداء الله.

hadith 623
God's Prophet (a.s) once told one of his companions: “O' Servant of God! Love for the sake of God, and hate for the sake of God. Make friends for God's sake. Fight for God's sake. Indeed no one can attain God's friendship otherwise, and no one can experience the taste of faith otherwise, even if he prays and fasts a lot. Certainly most friendships today are for worldly affairs. They express friendship, or hatred to each other on that basis. But this will not make them needless of their Lord.” Then the man said: “O' Prophet of God! Is it possible for me to realize for sure that I have loved or hated for the sake of God? But who is the Almighty God's friend so that I love him and obey him? Who is God's enemy so that I can hate him and be his enemy?” Then the Prophet of God pointed to the Ali and said: “Do you see and know this man?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “He is God's friend, so love him. His enemies are the enemies of God. Therefore be their enemy, and always be friends with his friends even if they kill your brother and son. Be the enemy of his enemies even if they are your father or son.”
وقال (صلى الله عليه وآله) أيضا لبعض أصحابه ذات يوم: يا عبد الله أحبب في الله وأبغض في الله، ووال في الله وعاد في الله، فإنه لا تنال ولاية الله إلا بذلك، ولا يجد رجل طعم الإيمان وإن كثر صلاته وصيامه حتى يكون كذلك، وقد صارت مؤاخاة الناس يومكم هذا أكثرها في الدنيا، عليها يتوادون وعليها يتباغضون، وذلك لا يغني عنهم من الله شيئا، فقال له: وكيف لي أن أعلم أني قد واليت في الله وعاديت في الله عز وجل؟ فمن ولي الله حتى أواليه، ومن عدو الله حتى أعاديه؟ فأشار له رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) إلى علي (عليه السلام) فقال: أترى هذا؟ فقال: بلى، قال: ولي هذا ولي الله فواله، وعدو هذا عدو الله فعاده، ووال ولي هذا ولو أنه قاتل أبيك وولدك، وعاد عدو هذا ولو أنه أبوك وولدك.
