A saying and an action; a saying that is inner and outer, and an action that is inner and outer, and the outer follows the inner. Whenever the inner is good, the outer is good; and if it is corrupt, it will corrupt. For this reason, it was said by a companion about the distracted person in prayer: indeed, when this heart humbles, his limbs humble.

And in the verse there are two sayings: It is said, 'They love them like the love of the believers for God,' and those who believed are stronger in love for Allah than them for their idols. And it is said: 'They love them as they love Allah,' and those who believed love Allah more strongly. This is the correct answer, and the first saying is contradictory and false, for indeed the polytheists do not love their equals like the love of the believers for Allah. It necessitates the will and the complete will along with capability necessitates the action. Hence, it is impossible for a human to be loving to Allah and His Messenger, wanting what Allah and His Messenger love surely whilst he is not doing it.
