I entered the mosque of Hims and found a circle there containing thirty-two men from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Among them was a young man with dark eyelids and bright front teeth, sitting wrapped in his garment. Whenever they differed about something, they would ask him, and he would inform them, and they would accept his answer.I asked, "Who is this?"They replied, "This is Muaz bin Jabal."I rose to pray, and I wanted to meet some of them, but I could not catch any of them, as they had dispersed. The next day, I entered and found Muaz praying by a pillar. I prayed beside him, and when he finished, I sat down with the pillar between us, then wrapped myself in my garment. I remained there for a while, neither speaking to him nor he to me.Then I said, "By Allah, I love you, not for any worldly gain I hope to obtain from you, nor for any kinship between us."He asked, "Then for what?"I said, "For the sake of Allah ."He pulled at my wrap and said, "Then rejoice, if you are truthful, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Those who love one another for the sake of Allah
will be in the shade of the Throne on a day when there is no shade except His shade. The prophets and martyrs will envy them their station.'"Then I went out and met Ubada bin Samit, and I told him what Muaz had told me.Ubada said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrate from his Lord
that He said, 'My love is due upon those who visit one another for My sake, and My love is due upon those who give to one another for My sake, upon pulpits of light, whose station the prophets and the truthful ones will envy.'"

دخلت مسجد حمص فإذا فيه حلقة فيها اثنان وثلاثون رجلا من أصحاب رسول الله ﷺ قال وفيهم شاب أكحل براق الثنايا محتب فإذا اختلفوا في شيء سألوه فأخبرهم فانتهوا إلى خبره قال قلت من هذا قالوا هذا معاذ بن جبل قال فقمت إلى الصلاة قال فأردت أن ألقى بعضهم فلم أقدر على أحد منهم انصرفوا فلما كان الغد دخلت فإذا معاذ يصلي إلى سارية قال فصليت عنده فلما انصرف جلست بيني وبينه السارية ثم احتبيت فلبثت ساعة لا أكلمه ولا يكلمني قال ثم قلت والله إني لأحبك لغير دنيا أرجوها أصيبها منك ولا قرابة بيني وبينك قال فلأي شيء قال قلت لله تبارك وتعالى قال فنثر حبوتي ثم قال فأبشر إن كنت صادقا فإني سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول المتحابون في الله تبارك وتعالى في ظل العرش يوم لا ظل إلا ظله يغبطهم بمكانهم النبيون والشهداء قال ثم خرجت فألقى عبادة بن الصامت قال فحدثته بالذي حدثني معاذ فقال عبادة سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يروي عن ربه تبارك وتعالى أنه قال حقت محبتي على المتزاورين في وحقت محبتي على المتباذلين في على منابر من نور يغبطهم بمكانهم النبيون والصديقون
