(14) To love the Messenger (Muhammad) is a part of faith
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَن رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: "فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَالِدِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ".
Sahih hadith: Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, By Him in Whose Hands my life is, none of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father and his children.
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 1: Chapter 2, Hadith 14.
The latest group of Uzbek pilgrims is performing their acts of worship in Makkah al-Mukarramah, including the Tawaf (circumambulation) of the Kaaba, as well as the five daily prayers and voluntary (nafl) prayers.
They also visited several sacred sites such as Mount Arafat, Mount Nur, Mount Thawr, and the blessed valleys of Mina and Muzdalifah.
During their stay in Madinah al-Munawwarah, the pilgrims visited the Rawdah, Mount Uhud, and the Quba Mosque, and continue to perform their daily and optional prayers at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi.
Throughout the journey, Uzbek pilgrims have been treated with great respect and provided with comfortable accommodations — Pullman Zamzam Hotel (Madinah) and Al-Ayyam Elite Hotel (Makkah) offer excellent 5-star services to ensure a pleasant stay.
May Allah Almighty accept the worship and prayers of all the pilgrims and grant us the honor of making supplication beside His Sacred House.
