(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
هَاشِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُلَيْمَانُ ، عَنْ
ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، الرَّجُلُ يُحِبُّ الرَّجُلَ ، وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ كَعَمَلِهِ ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ " ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : فَمَا رَأَيْتُ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرِحُوا بِشَيْءٍ قَطُّ ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الإسلام ، مَا فَرِحُوا بِهَذَا مِنْ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ : فَنَحْنُ نُحِبُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَلَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَعْمَلَ كَعَمَلِهِ ، فَإِذَا كُنَّا مَعَهُ ، فَحَسْبُنَا .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man presented himself in the court of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! A man loves a people but cannot reach their deeds, so what is the ruling?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A person will be with those whom he loves." Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after Islam, I have not seen the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) happier about anything than this. We love the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), even though we do not have the strength to do deeds like his; when we are with him, that is enough for us.
