حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ فَقَالَ: وَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟ قَالَ: مَا أَعْدَدْتُ مِنْ كَبِيرٍ، إِلاَّ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، فَقَالَ: الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ.


Anas reported that a man asked the Prophet, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, "Prophet of Allah, when will the Final Hour come?"He said, "Have you not made preparation for it?" He replied, " I am notprepared for a terrible event , but I love Allah and His Messenger." Hesaid, "A man is with the one he loves."
