Abu Ayyash (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him); he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, I will tell you the first thing that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will say. He will say to the believers on the Day of Resurrection: Did you love to meet Me? They will say: Yes, O our Lord! He will say: Why? They will say: We hoped for Your mercy and Your forgiveness. He will say: Then I have made My mercy binding for you."
