It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Surely a day will come upon you when you will wish to see me but you will not be able to see me. At that time, seeing me and meeting me will be more beloved to a person than his family and wealth, and even more than that much again.
