“A man came to the Prophet (salallāhu ;alaihi wasallam) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh! You are more beloved to me than my own self, more beloved to me than my family and my wealth, and more beloved to me than my children.

Sometimes I am at home, and I remember you, and I can hardly wait until I come to you and look at you. Then, when I remember my death and your death, I realise that when you enter Paradise you will be raised to the highest ranks with the Prophets, whereas if I enter Paradise, I fear that I shall not see you.’”

The Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) did not reply to him until Jibrīl (‘alaihis-salām) descended with this verse:

وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ أُولَٰئِكَ رَفِيقًا

And whoever obeys Allāh and the Messenger; those will be with the ones upon whom Allāh has bestowed His favour: the Prophets, the firmly truthful believers, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions.
