The angel asked: 'Are you going to meet him because of any favor he has done for you?' He said: 'No, I only love him for the sake of Allah (and that is why I am going to meet him).' The angel said: 'I have been sent to you as a messenger from Allah Almighty to inform you that Allah loves you just as you have loved that person.'"

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Dharr! You will be with those whom you love (on the Day of Judgment)."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah!

He replied: "I have not prepared much for it, except that I love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A person will be with those whom he loves." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: After Islam, I have not seen the Muslims happier than they were on that day.
