Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) said to me: 'Love whomever you wish, you will surely be separated from him, and live as long as you wish, in the end you will die one day.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril delivered his sermon to me in very brief words."
