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 kama fi manahil al-safa al-Suyuti Page 182

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 Page 362-363.
