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 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 because it is a fabricated narration as stated by Al-Albaani in his books “Dha’eef Al-Jaami’ As-Sagheer”, and "Silsilatul Ahaadeeth Adh-Dha’eefah Wal-Mawdhoo’ah.”

Allaah Knows best.
