Allah, the Most High, said:
وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ
وَٱلرَّسُولَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ
ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ رَفِيقًۭا
“Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger―they will be with those on
whom Allah has bestowed His Grace and Favour from among the Prophets, the
truthful who aided the truth, the martyrs and the righteous―how excellent these
companions are!” (An-Nisā’:
69)
A’ishah (radiyallāhu ‘anhā)
said: A man came to the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) and
said: “O Messenger of Allāh! You are more beloved to
me than my wife, my wealth, my property and my son. I was in my home and
thought about you and I was not able to be patient until I had come to you and
saw you. And when I think of my death and your death, I know when you enter
Jannah, you will be raised to the levels of the Prophets (‘alaihimus-salām).
And if I enter Paradise, I fear that I will not see you.” So
the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) did not answer him with
anything until Jibreel (‘alaihis-salām) descended with this Āyah: “Whoever
obeys Allah and His Messenger, they will be with those on whom Allah has
bestowed His Grace and Favour…”[1]
[1] Reported by At-Tabarāni Al-Mu’jam
As-Sagheer 1/26; Al-Haythami said in Majma’ Az-Zawā’id (7/7) that all the
narrators are narrators of Sahīh Al-Bukhāri except Abdullāh bin ‘Imrān and he
is trustworthy (thiqah). And this narration is supported by the hadeeth of Ibn
‘Abbās cited in Majma’ Az-Zawā’id (7/7) and that has in its chain ‘Atā bin
As-Sā’ib and he used to mix up narrations. Imām Muqbil Al-Wādi’i stated in his
book, As-Saheeh Al-Musnad min Asbāb an-Nuzool (pp. 70-71): It has been reported
by Abu Nu’aym in Al-Hilyah (4/240, 8/125) and Al-Wāhidi in Asbāb an-Nuzool with
this chain of narration―and Ash-Shawkāni stated: Al-Maqdisi declared the
narration to be hasan and it has support as mentioned in the Tafseer of Ibn
Katheer (1/523) that strengthens its validity.
