I entered the mosque of Damascus in Sham, and there I saw a young man with bright, radiant front teeth. People were gathered around him, and whenever they disagreed about something, they referred it to him and accepted his judgment. I asked about him and was told, "This is Muaz bin Jabal."The next day, I went early in the heat of midday, but I found that he had arrived before me. (Ishaq said, "in the intense midday heat.") I found him praying, so I waited until he finished his prayer. Then I came to him from the front, greeted him, and said, "By Allah, I love you for the sake of Allah ."He said, "By Allah?"I said, "By Allah."He said, "By Allah?"I said, "By Allah."So he took hold of the folds of my cloak, pulled me toward him, and said, "Rejoice, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say that Allah
said, 'My love is assured for those who love one another for My sake, who sit together for My sake, who visit one another for My sake, and who give generously to one another for My sake.'"
