Abu Idrīs al-Khawlāni (may Allah have mercy upon him) reported: I once entered the Damascus mosque. I saw a young man who had shining teeth, and people were with him. When they differed over anything, they would refer it to him and would adopt his opinion. I asked who he was and I was told that he was Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him). On the next day, I went early to the mosque, but found that he had arrived earlier than me and was praying.

I waited until he completed his prayer, and then went to him from the front, greeted him and said: "By Allah, I love you for the sake of Allah." He asked: "By Allah?" I replied: "Yes, by Allah." He then asked me again: "By Allah?" I replied: "Yes, by Allah." Then he took hold of the waist edge of my cloak, drew me close to himself and said: "Rejoice, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'Allah, the Almighty, said: ‘My love is certainly due to those who love one another for My sake, sit with one another for My sake, visit one another for My sake, cooperate and give one another for My sake.''"

Source textOriginal Arabic
عن أبي إدريس الخولاني رحمه الله قال: دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ دِمَشقَ، فَإِذَا فَتًى بَرَّاق الثَنَايَا وَإِذَا النَّاس مَعَه، فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيءٍ، أَسْنَدُوهُ إِلَيهِ، وَصَدَرُوا عَنْ رَأْيِهِ، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ، فَقِيل: هَذَا مُعَاذ بْنُ جَبَلٍ رضي الله عنه فَلَمَّا كان مِنَ الغَدِ، هَجَّرتُ، فَوَجَدتُه قَدْ سَبِقَنِي بِالتَهْجِير، وَوَجَدتُهُ يُصَلِّي، فَانتَظَرتُهُ حَتَّى قَضَى صَلاَتَه، ثُمَّ جِئتُهُ مِن قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيه، ثُمَّ قُلتُ: وَالله إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ لِلَّه، فَقَال: آلله؟ فَقُلتُ: آلله، فقال: آللهِ؟ فقُلْتُ: آلله، فَأَخَذَنِي بَحَبْوَةِ رِدَائِي، فَجَبَذَنِي إِلَيه، فَقَال: أَبْشِر! فَإِنِّي سَمِعتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «قَالَ الله -تعَالَى-: وَجَبَت مَحَبَّتِي لِلمُتَحَابِّين فِيَّ، وَالمُتَجَالِسِينَ فِيَّ، وَالمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ، وَالمُتَبَاذِلِينَ فِيَّ».
