Abu Dharr said, "I asked, 'Messenger of Allah, what if a man loves
a people but cannot join them?' He replied, 'Abu Dharr, you are with the
one you love.' I said, 'I love Allah and His Messenger.' He said, 'Abu
Dharr, you are with the one you love.'"
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "A man visited a brother of his in a village, so
Allah put an angel in wait for him on the road. He asked, 'Where are you
going?' He replied, 'To a brother of mine in this village.' He said, 'Is
he responsible for some blessing you have?' He said, 'No, I love him for
Allah.' He said, 'I am a messenger of Allah to you. Allah loves you as
you love him.'"
Anas reported that a man asked the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, "Prophet of Allah, when will the Final Hour come?"
He said, "Have you not made preparation for it?" He replied, " I am not
prepared for a terrible event , but I love Allah and His Messenger." He
said, "A man is with the one he loves."
حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ: وَجَدَ عُمَرُ حُلَّةَ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ، فَأَتَى بِهَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: اشْتَرِ هَذِهِ، وَالْبَسْهَا عِنْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ، أَوْ حِينَ تَقْدِمُ عَلَيْكَ الْوُفُودُ، فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ: إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُهَا مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، وَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِحُلَلٍ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِحُلَّةٍ، وَإِلَى أُسَامَةَ بِحُلَّةٍ، وَإِلَى عَلِيٍّ بِحُلَّةٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرْسَلْتَ بِهَا إِلَيَّ، لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: تَبِيعُهَا، أَوْ تَقْضِي بِهَا حَاجَتَكَ.
'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "'Umar found a silk robe and brought
it to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Buy
this and wear it on Jumu'ah and when delegations come to you.' The Prophet,
peace be upon him, replied, 'Only someone who has no portion in the Next
World wears this.' Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, was brought some robes and sent one robe to 'Umar, one
to Usama, and one to 'Ali. 'Umar said, 'Messenger of Allah! You have sent
this to me when I heard you say what you said about it.' The Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'You can sell it or take care
of your needs with it.'"
