It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Salman! Do not bear enmity towards me, for such enmity will drive you away from the religion. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Through you, Allah Almighty has guided us, how could I bear enmity towards you? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you bear enmity towards the Arabs, it is as if you bear enmity towards me.
