Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah the Exalted will say on the Day of Resurrection: Where are those who loved one another for My greatness and obedience? Today, I will shade them in My shade, and today there is no shade except My shade.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: A man set out to visit his brother in another village, so Allah Almighty appointed an angel on his way. When he reached there, the angel asked him, "Where are you going?" He replied, "I have a brother in that village; I am going to see him." The angel asked, "Is there any favor of his upon you which you are going to repay?" He replied, "No, he has no favor upon me; I only wish to see him for the sake of Allah." So the angel said, "Then I am a messenger from Allah, and Allah loves you as you love your brother for His (Allah's) sake."
