And how did ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan *رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ* feel when he fully supplied thė army heading to Tabouk, and thė *Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,* “Nothing ‘Uthman does after today could ever harm him…”?

And what emotions did thė Ansar experience when the *Messenger of Allah ﷺ* said to them,
“If all people were to go one way, and the Ansar were to take another, I would choose the path of thė Ansar.”
*(Arab expression meaning that thė addressed is even more bėloved than one’s own parents.)*
And how did the Ansar feel when the *Prophet of Allah ﷺ* spoke about them saying,
“The sign of belief is love for the Ansar, and thė sign of hypocrisy is feeling animosity toward them.”
And what were the feelings of Al-Siddeeq *رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ* when thė *Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,* “If I were to take a bosom friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr *رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ* as my bosom friend.”

And how did ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab *رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ* feel when he sought permission to enter upon thė *Messenger of Allah, and he ﷺ* told thė doorman, “Allow him to enter and give him glad tidings of Paradise.”
How did ALL the Sahabah *رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُمُ* feel while seeing thė Messenger ﷺ morning and evening?
And how are *WE* going to feel when we see in Åakhirah thė *Messenger of Allah ﷺ,* and he says to us, “You are my brothers for whom I have cried in my anticipation to meet; you are my brothers who have believed in me without ever seeing me.”
Oh *Âllåh (ﷻ)* make us among them..
*آمـــــين يَارَب*
