Narated By Anas : A man asked the Prophet about the Hour (i.e. Day
of Judgment) saying, “When will
the Hour be?” The Prophet said, “What have you prepared for it?”
The man said, “Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle.”
The Prophet said, “You will be with those whom you love.” We had
never been so glad as we were on hearing that saying of the Prophet (i.e.,
“You will be with those whom you love.”) Therefore, I love the
Prophet, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, and I hope that I will be with them because of my
love for them though my deeds are not similar to theirs.Bukhari Volume 005,
Book 057, Hadith Number 037.
Safwan ibn Qudama said, “I emigrated to the Prophet and went
to him and said, ‘Messenger of Allah,
give me your hand.’ So he gave me his hand. I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I love
you.’ He said, ‘A man is with the one he loves.'”Sunan Tirmidhi
Volume 004, Page 23
Ali said that the Prophet ﷺ took Hasan and Husayn by the hand and said, “Whoever loves me and loves these two
and their father and mother will have the same degree as me on the Day of
Rising.” Sunan Tirmidhi Volume 005, Page 305
It is related that a man came to the Prophet and said,
“Messenger of Allah, I love you more than my family and my possessions. I
remember you and I cannot wait until I can come and look at you. I remember
that I will die and you will die and I know that when you enter the Garden, you
will be raised up with the Prophets. When I enter it, I will not see you.”
Allah then revealed, “Whoever
obeys Allah and the Messenger, will be with those whom Allah has blessed: the
Prophets, the men of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And such people are
the best of company!” (Quran 4/69) The Prophet called the man and recited
the verses to him. Tafsir Dar Mansur Volume 002, Page 588
In another hadith we find, “A man was with the Prophet,
looking at him without turning away. The Prophet ﷺ asked, “What is wrong with you?” He
replied, “My father and mother be
your ransom! I enjoy looking at you. On the Day of Rising, Allah will raise you
up because of His high estimation of you!” Allah then sent down the
verse mentioned above.
In the hadith of Anas, the Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever
loves me will be with me in the Garden.” al-Isfahani fi al-targeeb

Narrated Anas: The Prophet ﷺ did not come out for three days. The people
stood for the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead to lead the prayer.(In the
meantime) the Prophet caught hold of the curtain and lifted it.When the face of the Prophet appeared we had
never seen a scene more pleasing than the face of the Prophet as it appeared
then. The Prophet beckoned to Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer and
then let the curtain fall. We did not see him (again) till he died.
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 649: (Sahih Bukhari)
Narrated Sahl bin Sa’d As-Sa’idi: Allah’s
Apostle ﷺ
went to establish peace among Bani ‘Amr bin ‘Auf. In the meantime
the time of prayer was due and the Mu’adh-dhin went to Abu Bakr and said, “Will you lead the prayer, so that I may
pronounce the Iqama?” Abu Bakr replied in the affirmative and led the
prayer. Allah’s Apostle came
while the people were still praying and he entered the rows of the praying
people till he stood in the (first row). The people clapped their hands.
Abu Bakr never glanced sideways in his prayer but when the people continued
clapping, Abu Bakr looked and saw Allah’s Apostle. Allah’s Apostle beckoned him
to stay at his place. Abu Bakr raised his hands and thanked Allah for that
order of Allah’s Apostle and then he
retreated till he reached the first row Allah’s Apostle went forward and led
the prayer. When Allah’s Apostle ﷺ finished the prayer, he said, “O Abu
Bakr! What prevented you from staying when I ordered you to do so?” Abu
Bakr replied, “How can Ibn Abi
Quhafa (Abu Bakr) dare to lead the prayer in the presence of Allah’s
Apostle?” Then Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said, “Why
did you clap so much? If something happens to anyone during his prayer he
should say Subhan Allah. If he says so he will be attended to, for clapping is
for women.”Volume 1, Book 11, Number 652: (Sahih Bukhari)
Abu Huraira reported so many ‘ahadith from Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ ) and one among them was that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ ) is reported to have said: By Him in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, a day would come to you
when you would not be able to see me, and the glimpse of my face would be
dearer to one than one’s own family, one’s property and in fact everything.
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ishaq with a slight
variation of wording.Book 030, Number 5833: Sahih Muslim
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ ) as
saying: The people most loved by me
from amongst my Ummah would be those who would come after me but everyone
amongst them would have the keenest desire to catch a glimpse of me even at the
cost of his family and wealth.Muslim Book 040, Hadith Number 6791.
Umar ibn al-Khattab
told al-Abbas, “Your becoming a Muslim is dearer to me than al-Khattab
becoming a Muslim because it is dearer to the Messenger of Allah. “Majm-uz-zawaid 009, Page 268.
Ibn Ishaq said that
the father, brother and husband of one of the women of the Ansar were killed in
the Battle of Uhud fighting for the Messenger of Allah. She asked, “What
has happened to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” They said, “He is as well as you would like, praise be to Allah!”
She said, “Show him to me so I can look at him.” When she saw him,
she said, “Every affliction is as nothing now that you are
safe.”Bayhaqi Volume 003, Page 302.
Ali ibn Abi Talib was
asked, “How was your love for the Messenger of Allah?” He replied,
“By Allah, we loved him more than our wealth, our sons, our fathers and
our mothers, and more than cold water in a time of great
thirst.”[Ash-Shifa of Qadi Iyad]
Zayd ibn Aslam said,
‘Umar went out at night to observe the people and saw a lamp in a house where
an old woman was teasing some wool, saying:”The prayer of the good be upon
Muhammad, may the blessed bless him!I was standing in tears before dawn. If
only I knew,when death gives us different forms,Whether the Abode will join me
to my beloved!”She meant the Prophet. ‘Umar sat down in tears. al-zuhad
