It is narrated that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ revealed to any Prophet, asking him to inform so-and-so pious person that his piety and avoidance from the world is [a means of gaining] pleasure for his own Nafs. For him to stay away from people and to stay attentive towards Me is [a means of gaining] respect. What deed did he do in return for the right I have over him? The person humbly asked, ‘O Lord! What is that deed?’ It was replied, ‘Did you have enmity towards anyone for Me and develop friendship with any Wali for Me?’
(Hilya-tul-Awliya, vol. 10, pp. 337, Hadees 15384)
Therefore, we should always prefer the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ before we develop friendship, enmity, affection, hatred and any type of mutual relationship with others. Congratulation to those fortunate people who maintain friendship with each other for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! A Hadees states that these people have perfect faith and will be gathered together by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ on the Day of Judgement. Moreover, these fortunate people will be sitting on ruby-made chairs around the ‘Arsh and will be staying in emerald-made houses with ruby-made pillars in them. Read four sayings of Beloved Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in this regard and rejoice.
