‘O Abu Dharr, I love for you what I love for myself’

Is it correct that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) once told Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (radiyallahu ‘anhu) “I like for you what I like for myself”?

Answer:

Yes. This is correct. Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said this and then offered him some advices.

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1826)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
