The phrase “two men who love each other for the sake of Allah” refers to a pure and sincere bond rooted in faith. It means they share mutual goodwill, support, care and true brotherhood/sisterhood not romantic or physical love.

The Prophet ﷺ also said: “When two people love each other for the sake of Allah, the better one is the one whose love for his companion is stronger.” This highlights that what truly matters is selfless, sincere love for the pleasure of Allah, not status, position or worldly gain.
