Sahaba's immense love for the Prophet (ﷺ)
1. Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A bedouin came to Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said to him, "When will be the Hour (i.e., the Day of Resurrection)?" He (the Prophet (ﷺ)) said, "What preparation have you made for it?" He said, "Only the love of Allah and His Messenger." Then Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "You will be with those whom you love."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
2. The narration in Muslim is: The man replied: "I have made no significant preparation with regard to Salat (prayer), Saum (fasting) and Sadaqah (charity) but I love Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ)".
[Riyad us Swaliheen , Book 1, Hadith 369]
3. Ibn-e-Kathir narrates from Hazrat Aisha (RA):
"A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said to him, `O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) You are more beloved to me than myself, my family and children. Sometimes, when I am at home, I remember you, and I cannot wait until I come and look at you.When I contemplate about my death and your death, I know that you will be with the Prophets when you enter Paradise. I fear that I might not see you when I enter Paradise.' The Prophet did not answer him until the Ayah, (i.e. An-Nisa 4:69) was revealed to him.''
[This was collected by Al-Hafiz Abu `Abdullah Al-Maqdisi in his book, Sifat Al-Jannah, he then commented, "I do not see problems with this chain.'' And Allah knows best.]
4. Ibn Shamasa Mahri (RA) narrates that they went to meet Hazrat Amr bin al-As (RA) when he was about to die. He (i.e. Hazrat Amr bin al-As (RA)) wept for a long time and turned his face towards the wall (and said)
...And then no one was dearer to me than the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] and none was more sublime in my eyes than he. Never could I, pluck courage to catch a full glimpse of his face due to the reverence I had for him. So if I am asked to describe his features, I cannot do that for I have not eyed him fully
[Ref: Sahih Muslim, Book 1, No. 220 or Narrated by Imam Muslim in the book of “Iman”, Tradition 192 ]
5. Nafi (rahimahullah) narrates that i saw that whenever Ibn `Umar (radhiallahu `anhu) used to go towards the grave (area) of the martyrs, he used to turn his camel away from it and when he was asked about it he (radhiallahu `anhu) replied : "I saw the camel of the messenger of Allah (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) pass through this (particular) area (or path way) and i fear that perhaps the feet of my camel would trample the mark where his (sallalahu `alayhi wa sallam) camel stepped.
[Ref: Sunan al-Kubra lil-Bayhaqi (9547)]
6. Ubayd ibn Jurayj said to Abdullah ibn Umar: Abu AbdurRahman, I saw you doing things which I did not see being done by your companions.
He asked: What are they, Ibn Jurayj?
He replied: I saw you touching only the two Yamani corners; and I saw you wearing shoes having no hair; I saw you dyeing in yellow colour; and I saw you wearing ihram on the eighth of Dhul-Hijjah, whereas the people had worn ihram when they sighted the moon.
Abdullah ibn Umar replied: As regards the corners, I have not seen the Apostle of Allah touching anything (in the Ka'bah) but the two Yamani corners. As for the tanned leather shoes, I have seen the Apostle of Allah wearing tanned leather shoes, and he would wear them after ablution. Therefore I like to wear them. As regards wearing yellow, I have seen the Apostle of Allah wearing yellow, so I like to wear with it. As regards shouting the talbiyah, I have seen the Apostle of Allah raising his voice in talbiyah when his she-camel stood up with him on its back.
[Sunan Abi Dawud 1772 / Muwatta Malik : Book 20, Hadith 31/ Sahih Muslim Book 7, Hadith 2674]
