And by God, the love of God can be purchased with all of this world, and it is higher than loving God; for God loving you is higher than you loving Him. And for this reason, the Exalted said: 'Say: If you love God, then follow me, God will love you.' And He did not say: 'Follow me; be generous in your love for God' though the situation necessitates such, but He said: 'He will cause you to be loved.'
