عَنْ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ حِمْصَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ نَحْوٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ كَهْلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا فِيهِمْ شَابٌّ أَكْحَلُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ بَرَّاقُ الثَّنَايَا (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ حَسَنُ الْوَجْهِ أَدْعَجُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ أَغَرُّ الثَّنَايَا) سَاكِتٌ فَإِذَا امْتَرَى الْقَوْمُ فِي شَيْءٍ أَقْبَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَسَأَلُوهُ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ قَوْلًا انْتَهَوْا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ) فَقُلْتُ لِجَلِيسٍ لِي مَنْ هَذَا قَالَ هَذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَوَقَعَ لَهُ فِي نَفْسِي حُبٌّ فَكُنْتُ مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى تَفَرَّقُوا ثُمَّ هَجَّرْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ فَسَكَتَ لَا يُكَلِّمُنِي فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَاحْتَبَيْتُ بِرَدَاءٍ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَسَكَتَ لَا يُكَلِّمُنِي وَسَكَتُّ لَا أُكَلِّمُهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ قَالَ فِيمَ تُحِبُّنِي قُلْتُ فِي اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَأَخَذَ بِحَبْوَتِي فَجَرَّنِي إِلَيْهِ هُنَيَّةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبْشِرْ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الْمُتَحَابُّونَ فِي جَلَالِي لَهُمْ مَنَابِرُ مِنْ نُورٍ يَغْبِطُهُمُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ) أَحْسِبُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي ظِلِّ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ (وَفِي أُخْرَى) يُوضَعُ لَهُمْ كَرَاسِيُّ مِنْ نُورٍ يَغْبِطُهُمْ بِمَجْلِسِهِمْ مِنَ الرَّبِّ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالصِّدِّيقُونَ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِمَا حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فِي الْمُتَحَابِّينَ قَالَ فَأَنَا أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ حَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِيَّ وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَبَاذِلِينَ فِيَّ وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَوَاصِلِينَ فِيَّ
It is narrated from Abu Muslim Khaulani, he says: I went to the mosque of Homs, in which thirty noble companions were present. Among them was a young man whose eyes were lined with kohl and whose teeth were shining. In another narration, it is mentioned: his face was beautiful, his eyes were black and wide, and his teeth were shining. He was sitting silently. When any disagreement arose among the people, they would ask that young man. I asked the one sitting next to me: Who is this young man? He said: This is Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him). Great love for him developed in my heart. Then I remained with those people until they dispersed. Then I quickly went to the mosque and saw that Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal was standing by a pillar, performing prayer. Then he remained silent and did not speak to me. I also prayed and sat down, wrapping myself in my cloak. Then he also finished and sat down, and did not speak to me. I also remained silent and did not speak to him. Then I said: By Allah! I love you. He said: Why do you love me? I said: For the sake of Allah, the Exalted. So he took hold of the edge of my cloak and pulled it slightly towards himself and then said: If you are truthful in your statement, then rejoice! I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Those who love each other for My Majesty will have pulpits of light, such that the Prophets and martyrs will envy them. In another narration: They will be under the shade of Allah on the Day when there will be no other shade. In another narration: Chairs of light will be set for them and the gathering they will have near Allah, the Prophets, the truthful, and the martyrs will envy it. Then I left from there and met Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Abu Walid! Shall I narrate to you the hadith about those who love each other, which Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to me? He said: I will narrate to you a hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which he narrated from Allah, the Exalted. Allah, the Exalted, said: My love is established for those who love each other for My sake; My love is established for those who visit each other for My sake; My love is established for those who spend on each other for My sake; and My love is established for those who maintain ties of kinship for My sake.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The rank and status of the Prophets and Messengers will be higher than all other members of the Ummah. In this hadith, the meaning of "envy" (rashk) is that they will regard the condition of these people as good and will be pleased with them, because in the Qamus (dictionary), the meaning of "ghibtah" is stated as "good condition and happiness" (husn al-hal wa al-masarrat). Furthermore, its second meaning has also been stated as expressing their virtue, greatness, and lofty status—that is, the rank and status of those who love one another for the sake of Allah’s majesty and greatness will be so magnificent in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection that even the noble Prophets, despite being at the highest station of majesty and greatness, will feel envy, saying: "How remarkable are these people! How much honor Allah has bestowed upon them."
