A man asked the Prophet şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam about the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment) saying, "When will the Hour be?" The Prophet şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam said, "What have you prepared for it?" The man said, "Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam." The Prophet şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam 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 şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam (i.e., "You will be with those whom you love.") "Therefore, I love the Prophet şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam, Abu Bakr rađiyAllāhu ánhu and 'Umar rađiyAllāhu ánhu, and I hope that I will be with them because of my love for them though my deeds are not similar to theirs." Anas rađiyAllāhu ánhu narrated it.
