Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an:

قُل إِن كُنتُم تُحِبُّونَ اللهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحبِبكُم اللهُ

Say if you Love Allah then follow me, Allah will love you.
[3:31]
Hasan Al Basri رحمه الله called this Ayah the Ayah of testing.
It tests the believers, that if they truly love Allah ﷻ, they will follow Muhammad ﷺ.

Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “None of you have faith until I am more beloved to him than his children, his father, and all of the people.”
[Sahih al-Bukhārī 15, Sahih Muslim 44]
_
Narrated Abdullah bin Hisham رضي الله عنه:
We were with the Prophet ﷺ and he was holding the hand of Umar bin Al-Khattab. Umar said to Him, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! You are dearer to me than everything except my own self.”
The Prophet ﷺ said, “No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you than your own self.”
Then Umar (رضي الله عنه) said to him, _"However, now, by Allah, you are dearer to me than my own self."_ The Prophet (ﷺ) said, *_"Now, OUmar, (now you are a believer).* [Sahih Bukhari 6632]
A major aspect of having Ihsaan, (the highest level of Imaan) is to love the Prophet ﷺ unconditionally above everyone else!
_
In a hadith narrated by Anas رضي الله عنه:
A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment) saying, “When will the Hour be?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “What have you prepared for it?” The man said, “Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “You will be with those whom you love.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari 3688]
_
The Sahaba رضي الله عنهم rejoiced like never before because of this Hadith!
Because of their complete love!
_
May Allah ﷻ make us among those love Him and His Messenger ﷺ and gather us among the righteous in the Hereafter.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
