Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a man asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) be established? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What have you prepared for it? He replied: I have not prepared for it many prayers, fasts, or charities, but I love Allah and His Messenger. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You will be with those whom you love.

Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that it was said to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "A person loves a group of people but has not been able to meet them?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A person is with those whom he loves."
