13. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabi from Bashir al-Kannasi from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“Sometimes love is for the sake of Allah and the Messenger of Allah and sometimes it is for the sake of worldly matters. For love, which is for the sake of Allah and the Messenger of Allah, the reward is with Allah. For love that is for the sake of worldly matters there is nothing.”
13ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ الْكُنَاسِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَدْ يَكُونُ حُبٌّ فِي الله وَرَسُولِهِ وَحُبٌّ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَمَا كَانَ فِي الله وَرَسُولِهِ فَثَوَابُهُ عَلَى الله وَمَا كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ.
