Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated to me, saying: Mu‘adh ibn Mu‘adh narrated to me. (Another chain:) And ‘Ubaydullah ibn Mu‘adh narrated to us — and the wording is his — saying: My father narrated to us, saying: Shu‘bah narrated to us, from ‘Adi ibn Thabit, who said: I heard al-Bara’ narrating from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said concerning the Ansar: "None loves them but a believer, and none hates them but a hypocrite. Whoever loves them, Allah loves him; and whoever hates them, Allah hates him." Shu‘bah said: I said to ‘Adi: Did you hear it from al-Bara’? He said: It was to me that he narrated.
