Hadith 13387

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ وَحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قِيَامِ السَّاعَةِ ، وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ ، قَالَ : " أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ ؟ " فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ : هَا أَنَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " وَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا ؟ فَإِنَّهَا قَائِمَةٌ " ، قَالَ : مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا مِنْ كَبِيرِ عَمَلٍ ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ " ، قَالَ : فَمَا فَرِحَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِشَيْءٍ بَعْدَ الإسلام ، أَشَدَّ مِمَّا فَرِحُوا بِهِ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) be established?" At that time, the Iqamah had been pronounced, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to lead the prayer. After finishing the prayer, he said, "Where is the one who asked about the Hour?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I am here." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "What preparation have you made for it?" He replied, "I have not prepared many good deeds, prayers, or fasts, but I do love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A person will be with the one whom he loves on the Day of Judgment." Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I have never seen the Muslims as happy as they were on that day after accepting Islam."
