Zar bin Hubaysh (may Allah have mercy on him) says that one day I went to Hazrat Safwan bin Assal (may Allah be pleased with him), so he asked, "What brings you here?" I said, "I have come in pursuit of knowledge." He said, "Allah's angels, out of joy for the seeker of knowledge, spread their wings for him." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A person (on the Day of Judgment) will be with the one whom he loves." Then he continued narrating hadiths to us until he said, "In the west there is a door which is open for repentance, its width is seventy years' journey. Allah opened it on the day He created the heavens and the earth; it will not be closed until the sun rises from the west. This is the meaning of the statement of Allah the Exalted: 'The Day when some of the signs of your Lord will come...' (the verse)."
