Yusuf Islam : Mountain of Light

Love

The Messenger of God (may peace be upon him) said:
"Three practices will keep sincere your brother's love for you: greeting him when you see him; making room for him in gatherings; and calling him by the most endearing of his names."

And The Messenger of God also said:
"Hearts naturally love those who are kind to them and loath those who are cruel"

The above Hadith was narrated by Al-Bayhaqi. Translation by Hamza Yusuf. Taken from the book: "The Content of Character"
