Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Souls (in the world of souls) are assembled troops. Those of them that knew one another (in the world of souls) are drawn to one another (in this world as well), and those that did not know one another (in the world of souls) remain apart (in this world as well)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
