It is reported on the authority of Anas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
No bondsman believes, and, in the hadith narrated by Abdul Warith, no person believes, till I am dearer to him than the members of his household, his wealth and the whole of mankind.
Benefits taken from an-Nawawi
-al-Khattaabi said what's meant is not a natural form of love (such as loving a family member) but a love which seeks to acquire, and this can only be brought about by obedience of him.

-Ibn Battaal and Qadhee said love is of three types:
A love of compassion (such as loving ones children merely because of the attachment)
B. love of magnifying (such as loving parents merely because of respect for them)
A love of compassion (such as loving ones children merely because of the attachment)
B. love of magnifying (such as loving parents merely because of respect for them)
C. love which includes both, this is what is included in loving the prophet.
-Ibn Battaal said loving the prophet more than anything else is from Kamaal al-Emaan, because the prophet has a greater right to be loved above all else.
-Qaadhee said (in explaining the above) loving the Prophet means we love him, support him and his Sunnah, protect his Sharee'ah and we put him above anything else. One's Emaan can't be completed until all of this practiced.

TN: Shaykh 'Abdul-'Aziz ar-Raajihee makes a few important points:
-loving Allaah and His Messneger is a pillar of Emaan, without it, a person is a Kaafir.
-what's being discussed here is loving the prophet above everything else, not the essence of love for him, thus loving is of degrees and the more one has of love him (above everything else), the more complete his Emaan is.
-a person who loves others or other things more than the love of the prophet, is deficient in his love and his Emaan, but his Emaan isn't completely negated as he still loves Allah and His Messenger.
-one negates loving Allaah and His Messenger by doing clear acts of Kufr or Shirk or loving to obey others beside Allaah and His Messenger.
(Sharh Saheeh al-Bukhaari, Book of Emaan, chapter of loving the Prophet is from Emaan)
