The love of the servants for Allah is a metaphor for their desire for Him to be exclusively worshipped without others and their inclination towards it. And the love of Allah for His servants is that He is pleased with them and praises their actions. The meaning is: If you truly intend to worship Allah, then follow me so that what you claim about your desire to worship Him is valid; He will be pleased with you and forgive you. Al-Hasan said: Some people during the time of the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, claimed that they loved Allah, so he wanted to establish a confirmation of their words through action. Whoever claims to love Him but contradicts the Sunnah of His Messenger is a liar, and the Book of Allah contradicts him. If you see someone who mentions the love of Allah and claps his hands while mentioning it, and becomes ecstatic and faints, do not doubt that he does not know what Allah is nor does he understand what the love of Allah is. His clapping, ecstasy, and fainting are merely due to his imagining in his wicked soul a pleasing image that he has called Allah out of his ignorance and depravity, then he clapped, became ecstatic, and fainted over his imagination. Perhaps you have seen the desires filling the garment of that lover at the moment of his fainting, and the foolish common people around him have filled their garments with tears because of the state he has stirred in them. And it has been read: 'You love' and 'He makes you loved' and 'He loves you,' from His love, He loves. He said: 'I love Abu Tharwan for the love of his dates... and I know that being gentle with the neighbor is more gentle.' And by Allah, if it were not for his dates, I would not have loved him... and he would have been no closer than Ubaid and Mushriq. This is from Ghaylan ibn Shuja' al-Nahshali. He says: I love this man for the sake of my love for his dates. It is narrated: Abu Marwan, and I know that being gentle with the neighbor is more gentle than with others, meaning it is more compassionate, and he attributed gentleness to himself as an exaggeration, like the seriousness of his grandfather. It is possible that the meaning is that being gentle with the neighbor is more deserving or complete than with others. As for if it is read 'awfaq' with the 'waw,' it is apparent. And in it is an appeal to Abu Marwan, asking for gentleness from him through the poet. The dominant language is 'I love' in the four-letter form. And 'He loves' is with a broken first letter of the present tense from the rare form of coming in the trilateral form and from the broken first letter of the present tense. The usual form for the present tense of the trilateral doubled transitive is to have a 'dhamma' on the first letter, like 'yashd' and 'yurd.' And 'love' can come from the form 'alam' as well. And 'he would not be closer,' meaning nearer to Ubaid and Mushriq, who are his sons. In the rhyme, there is an irregularity. Abu al-Abbas al-Mubarrad narrated instead of the last line: 'And Iyaad was closer to him and Mushriq,' meaning nearer to Abu Marwan. Therefore, there is no irregularity in it. If they turn away, it is possible that it is in the past tense, and it is also possible that it is in the present tense meaning: If you turn away, and it is included in what the Messenger says to them.
