«وَأَوَدُّ الْحَمِيمَ وَلَوْ جَرَّعَنِي الْحَمِيمَ»
I cherish a close friend even if he makes me swallow, as it were, scalding water.

Law introduces an adverse hypothetical circumstance: affection remains even if pain is inflicted. The verbs awaddu and jarraʿanī guide the interpretation; dictionary alternatives are not interchangeable at will.
