It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! You are more beloved to me than my own self, you are dearer to me than my family, and you are more beloved to me than my children. When I am at home and I remember you, I cannot be patient until I come to you and look at you (and find peace). But when I remember my death, I think that when you enter Paradise, you will be (raised to) high ranks with the Prophets, and if I enter Paradise, I fear that I will not be able to see you? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give him any answer, until Jibreel (peace be upon him) came down with this verse: «وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّـهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَـئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَـئِكَ رَفِيقًا» "And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, then they will be with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favor, of the Prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions." (4-An-Nisa:69)
