Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: A man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah! You are more beloved to me than my own self, my family, my wealth, and my children. When I am at home and remember you, I cannot be patient until I come to you myself and see you. Then when I remember my own death and yours, I realize that you will have reached a high rank in Paradise with the Prophets, and if I enter Paradise, I will not be able to see you. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give him any answer until Jibreel (peace be upon him) came with this verse: «وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَٰئِكَ رَفِيقًا» “Whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, then they will be with those whom Allah has blessed: the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. And what excellent companions these are.”
