حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ حَرْبِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ يَعِيشَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، أَنَّ مَوْلَى الزُّبَيْرِ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " دَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ دَاءُ الأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمُ الْحَسَدُ وَالْبَغْضَاءُ هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ لاَ أَقُولُ تَحْلِقُ الشَّعْرَ وَلَكِنْ تَحْلِقُ الدِّينَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا وَلاَ تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا أَفَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا يُثَبِّتُ ذَاكُمْ لَكُمْ أَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ بَيْنَكُمْ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ قَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ فَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ يَعِيشَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مَوْلَى الزُّبَيْرِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ .
Az-Zubair bin Al-'Awwam Narrated from:
The Prophet (s.a.w) said: "The Disease Of The Nations Before You Is Creeping Towards You: Envy And Hatred, It Is The Haliqah. I Do Not Speak Of What Cuts The Hair, But What Severs The Religion. By The One In Whose Hand Is My Soul! You Will Not Enter Paradise Until You Believe, And You Will Not Believe Until You Love Each Other. Shall I Tell You About What Will Strengthen That For You? Spread The Salam Among Each Other."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2510
This hadith about spreading salam connects faith, love, and clean hearts. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that the disease of earlier nations, envy and hatred, was creeping toward the Muslims. He called it al-haliqah, explaining that it does not cut hair but severs religion. He then said that people will not enter Paradise until they believe, and will not believe until they love one another. He gave a practical way to strengthen that love: spread salam among each other. The hadith teaches that hatred is not a small inner feeling. It can damage religion, while salam helps build warmth, safety, and brotherhood.
What we learn from this hadith
- Envy and hatred are dangerous for religious life.
- Love between believers is tied to faith in this narration.
- Spreading salam is a practical way to strengthen love.
- A believer should work against hatred in the heart.
