Riyad as-Saliheen 368
Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet ﷺ said, "A person will be summoned with the one whom he loves".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Another narration is: The Prophet ﷺ was asked; "What about a person who loves a people but cannot be with them?" (i.e., either he cannot attain their lofty position of righteousness or that he has not met with them in this life). He ﷺ replied, "A person will be in the company of those whom he loves".
وعن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه أن النبي ﷺ قال: " المرء مع من أحب" ((متفق عليه)) . وفي رواية قال: قيل للنبي ﷺ : الرجل يحب القوم ولما يلحق بهم؟ قال: "المرء مع من أحب".
