The next sign of truly loving Allah, the Exalted, and the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is that a muslim will mention Allah, the Exalted, and the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, often. It is commonly known that the one a person often remembers is the one they love, the greater the love the greater the remembrance. This is indicated in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 826, which advises that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, used to remember Allah, the Exalted, in every moment. This is a sign of the deep love the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, has for Allah, the Exalted. Those who prove their love by remembering Allah, the Exalted, often have been given the glad tidings of forgiveness and a great reward. Chapter 33 Al Ahzab, verse 35:
“…and the men who remember Allah often and the women who do so – for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward.”
The next sign of loving Allah, the Exalted, is a strong desire to meet Allah, the Exalted, and the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. It is not possible to love someone and not desire they constant company. The one who desires this meeting will dedicate great effort in preparing for it. This is quite obvious even in worldly matters, the more important a meeting the greater the preparation. So those who desire to meet Allah, the Exalted, will strive in His sincere obedience by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience. This has been indicated in the Holy Quran. Chapter 18 Al Kahf, verse 110:
“…So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord – let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone.”
This sign is linked to the previous one as Allah, the Exalted, has clearly declared in a divine Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 7405, that He is with whoever remembers Him. So if one desires the company of Allah, the Exalted, they will constantly remember Him through His sincere obedience.
Those who desire to meet the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, will hasten in following his traditions. Especially the ones which indicate that acting on them will cause one to be with him in the hereafter. For example, a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 5304, advises that whoever takes care of an orphan for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, will be with the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, in the hereafter. The Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, fulfilled this sign to the utmost as they constantly yearned for the company of Allah, the Exalted, and the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. The Holy Quran alludes to this characteristic of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, in chapter 3 Alee Imran, verse 159:
“So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you…”
