Takhrij Hadith 2028: "A man asked the Prophet…"

A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the Hour, saying: “When will the Hour be?” He replied: “What have you prepared for it?” The man said: “Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).” He said: “You will be with those whom you love.” Anas said: “We never rejoiced over anything as much as we rejoiced at the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): ‘You will be with those whom you love.’” Anas then said: “I love the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr, and ʿUmar, and I hope that I will be with them because of my love for them, even though I have not performed deeds like theirs.”
