Sahih al-Bukhari 3530 (Book 62, Hadith 38)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “What have you prepared for it?” The man said, “Nothing, except that I love Allah
and His Apostle.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “You will be with those whom you love.” We had never been so
glad as we were on hearing that saying of the Prophet (i.e., “You will be with those whom you love.”)
Therefore, I love the Prophet, Abu Bakr and `Umar, and I hope that I will be with them because of my
love for them though my deeds are not similar to theirs.
