Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, we love some people, yet we cannot attain their deeds?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, you will be with the one you love." Then the people said: "O Messenger of Allah, is it the same for us too?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, it is the same for you too."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) except al-Hajjaj bin al-Hajjaj; Ibrahim bin Tahman is alone in narrating it."
