The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “If someone loves his brother, then he should tell him.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhî]
Once when the Prophet (peace be upon him) was with someone, a man passed by and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I love that person.”
The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: “Have you told him?”
He replied: “No.”
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Then do so.”
So the man went to the other and said: “I love you for the sake of Allah.”
The other replied: “May He love you for whose sake you love me.” [Sunan Abî Dâwûd]
