and we have previously mentioned that the love of Allāh, the Exalted, is His love and the love of what He loves, as it is in "al-Ṣaḥīḥayn" from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) that he said: "There are three qualities, whoever has them will taste the sweetness of faith: the one to whom Allāh and His Messenger are more beloved than anything else, the one who loves a person solely for the sake of Allāh, and the one who hates to return to disbelief after Allāh has saved him from it just as he hates to be thrown into the fire." The Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) informed that whoever possesses these three qualities will find the sweetness of faith because experiencing sweetness in something follows from love for it. So whoever loves or desires something, when he attains his desire, he finds sweetness, pleasure, and joy in that. Pleasure is something that occurs following the perception of what is agreeable, which is the beloved or desired. And whoever said that pleasure is the perception of what is agreeable—as some philosophers and physicians claim—has made a clear mistake in this, for perception mediates between love and pleasure. For example, a person desires food, and when he eats it, pleasure follows that. Thus, pleasure follows the observation of a thing; when he looks at it, he finds pleasure in it. The pleasure that follows observation is not the observation itself, nor is it the sight of the thing, but it occurs following its sight. And He, the Exalted, said [Sūrah al-Zukhruf, 71]: "And therein is whatever the souls desire and delights the eyes." And so it is with all that the soul experiences of pleasures and pains
