jazaakallah
asif
from Mauritius

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

It is not correct to attribute the Prophetic narration which reads “Love of country is (stems) from ‘Eemaan (faith)’’ to the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) because it is a fabricated narration as stated by Al-Albaani  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him in his books “Dha’eef Al-Jaami’ As-Sagheer”, and "Silsilatul Ahaadeeth Adh-Dha’eefah Wal-Mawdhoo’ah.

Allaah Knows best.
