He replied: لَا شَيْءَ “O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I have not prepared anything,” (that is, I do not rely on my deeds; if Allah Almighty wills, He may accept them, and if He wills, He may not)

اِلَّا اَنِّي اُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ

“except that I love Allah Almighty and His beloved Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.”

Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: اَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ اَحْبَبْتَ
 “You will be with whom you love.”^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه ! From this blessed Hadith, it becomes clear that in the Hereafter, a person will be with those whom he loved in this world.

Now reflect: how fortunate are those who love Imam al-AꜤẓam Abū Ḥanīfah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, the leader of the righteous and the muftis, Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, the crown of Ahl al-Sunnah, Imam Aḥmad Riḍā رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, and all the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah.

On the Day of Judgement, Allah Almighty will place them with these scholars; they will be gathered with them, and, if Allah Almighty wills, they will enter Paradise following them.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                          صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Love for the Commentator of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Shāriḥ al-Bukhārī) رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه

Dear Islamic brothers! Amīr Ahl al-Sunnah has immense love for the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah, and due to this, he never allows any shortcoming in showing them respect and honour.
