Abu Muslim Khawlani reported,

I came to the mosque of the people of Damascus and found a circle in which there were elders from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ. Among them was a young man with dark eyes lined as if with kohl and bright shining teeth. Whenever they differed about something, they would refer it back to this young man.I said to the man sitting next to me, "Who is this?"He replied, "This is Muaz bin Jabal."I came back in the evening but they were not there. I came early the next morning, but they did not come. I went again later and found the young man praying by a pillar. I performed my prayer, then moved over to him.When he gave the salam, I drew close to him and said, "I love you for the sake of Allah."He pulled me toward him and asked, "What did you say?"I said, "I love you for the sake of Allah."He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ relating from his Lord, 'Those who love one another for the sake of Allah will be upon pulpits of light in the shade of the Throne on the day when there will be no shade except His shade.'"So I left and went until I met Ubada bin Samit, and I mentioned to him the hadith of Muaz bin Jabal.Ubada said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ relating from his Lord , 'My love is assured for those who love one another for My sake, My love is assured for those who give to one another for My sake, and My love is assured for those who visit one another for My sake. Those who love one another for the sake of Allah will be upon pulpits of light in the shade of the Throne on the day when there will be no shade except His shade.'"

حدثنا عبد الله حدثني أبي حدثنا وكيع حدثنا جعفر بن برقان عن حبيب بن أبي مرزوق عن عطاء بن أبي رباح

عن أبي مسلم الخولاني قال

أتيت مسجد أهل دمشق فإذا حلقة فيها كهول من أصحاب النبي ﷺ وإذا شاب فيهم أكحل العين براق الثنايا كلما اختلفوا في شيء ردوه إلى الفتى فتى شاب قال قلت لجليس لي من هذا قال هذا معاذ بن جبل قال فجئت من العشي فلم يحضروا قال فغدوت من الغد قال فلم يجيئوا فرحت فإذا أنا بالشاب يصلي إلى سارية فركعت ثم تحولت إليه قال فسلم فدنوت منه فقلت إني لأحبك في الله قال فمدني إليه قال كيف قلت قلت إني لأحبك في الله قال سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يحكي عن ربه يقول المتحابون في الله على منابر من نور في ظل العرش يوم لا ظل إلا ظله قال فخرجت حتى لقيت عبادة بن الصامت فذكرت له حديث معاذ بن جبل فقال سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يحكي عن ربه عز وجل يقول حقت محبتي للمتحابين في وحقت محبتي للمتباذلين في وحقت محبتي للمتزاورين في والمتحابون في الله على منابر من نور في ظل العرش يوم لا ظل إلا ظله
