قَالَ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ:  عَنْ زُهْرَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ:

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ،

فَقَالَ:

وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا مِنْ نَفْسِي

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ^(٤) ﷺ:

“لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ”.

فَقَالَ عُمَرُ:

فَأَنْتَ الْآنَ وَاللَّهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ:

“الْآنَ يَا عُمَرُ”^(٥)

“We were with the Messenger of Allah, while he was holding the hand of Umar bin Al-Khattab. Umar said, `By Allah! You, O Messenger of Allah, are dearer to me than everything, except for myself.’
The Messenger of Allah said,

None among you will attain faith until I become dearer to him than even himself.
Umar said, `Verily, now, you are dearer to me than myself, by Allah!’
The Messenger of Allah said,
الاْنَ يَا عُمَر(Now, O `Umar)!”
Al-Bukhari also collected thisHadith.( ibne kathir )

ثَلاَثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ حَلاَوَةَ الإِيمَانِ

مَنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا

وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ عَبْدًا لاَ يُحِبُّهُ إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ

وَمَنْ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِي الْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنْقَذَهُ اللَّهُ كَمَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ

16 صحيح البخاري كتاب الإيمان باب حلاوة الإيمان

43 صحيح مسلم كتاب الإيمان باب بيان خصال من اتصف بهن وجد حلاوة الإيمان

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever has three traits within himself will find the sweetness of faith: one who loves Allah and His Messenger more than anything else, one who loves a servant only for the sake of Allah, and one who hates to turn back to unbelief after Allah has saved him, just as he hates to be thrown into the fire.”

On jugement day with who you love 

عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ السَّاعَةِ،

فَقَالَ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ

قَالَ

‏”‏ وَمَاذَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا ‏”

‏‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ شَىْءَ إِلاَّ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏

فَقَالَ ‏”‏ أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ ‏”‏‏.

‏ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَمَا فَرِحْنَا بِشَىْءٍ فَرَحَنَا بِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ ‏”‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ، وَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ مَعَهُمْ بِحُبِّي إِيَّاهُمْ، وَإِنْ لَمْ أَعْمَلْ بِمِثْلِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ‏.‏

A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment) saying, “When will the Hour be?” 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.
