وعن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " المرء مع من أحب" ((متفق عليه)) . وفي رواية قال: قيل للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : الرجل يحب القوم ولما يلحق بهم؟ قال: "المرء مع من أحب".
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"..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".
