بَابُ الأَرْوَاحُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌChapter: Souls are like enlisted soldiers
Hadith 900
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”الأَرْوَاحُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ، فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا ائْتَلَفَ، وَمَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا اخْتَلَفَ.“
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Souls are like assembled troops; those who became acquainted and familiar with each other (in the realm before this world) will have affection and love for each other (in this world as well), and those who were not familiar with each other there will differ (in this world as well)."
