It is narrated from Abu Idris A'idhullah (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man passed by, so I went to him and said: "This man (Sayyiduna Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to me a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); have you also heard it?" He said: "He would tell you nothing but the truth." Then I told him the hadith, and he said: "I myself heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that is: 'Those who love one another for the sake of Allah, Allah will shade them in the shade of His Throne on the Day when there is no shade but His shade,' and I heard something even better than that." I asked: "May Allah have mercy on you, what is better than that?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) relating this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: 'My love is established (due) for those who love one another for My sake; My love is established for those who keep ties with one another for My sake; My love is established for those who visit one another for My sake; and My love is established for those who spend wealth on one another for My sake.'" The narrator says: I do not remember which of the two he mentioned first. I asked: "May Allah have mercy on you, who are you?" He said: "I am Ubadah bin al-Samit." This chain is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
