حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ إِسْحَقُ أَخْبَرَنَا و قَالَ عُثْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِکٍ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَارِجَيْنِ مِنْ الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَقِينَا رَجُلًا عِنْدَ سُدَّةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَی السَّاعَةُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا قَالَ فَکَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ اسْتَکَانَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا کَبِيرَ صَلَاةٍ وَلَا صِيَامٍ وَلَا صَدَقَةٍ وَلَکِنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6715
Anas b. Malik reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and I were coming out of the mosque that we met a person on the threshold of the mosque and he said to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ): When would be the Last Hour? Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: What preparation have you made for that? The man became silent and then said: Allah's Messenger, I have made no significant preparation with prayer and fasting and charity but I, however, love Allah and His Messenger. Thereupon (the Holy Prophet) said: You would be along with one whom you love.
