Sahl warned, "If someone does not think that the Messenger of Allah is his master in all matters or should think that he does not fall under his jurisdiction he does not taste the sweetness of his prophetic way, because he said, "None of you will believe until I am dearer to him than himself."
The Reward for Loving the Prophet
Anas tells us of the occasion when a man came to the Prophet and asked, "When will the Last Hour come, O Messenger of Allah?" Whereupon the Prophet inquired, "What have you prepared for it?" The man replied, "I have neither prepared an abundance of prayer, fasting or charity for it, but I love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet told him, "You will be with the one you love."
Safwan, Qudama's son tells of his migration to the Prophet he said, "When I migrated to the Prophet I went to him and said, O Messenger of Allah, give me your hand,' and he gave me his hand, then I said, O Messenger of Allah, I love you. He replied, 'A man is with the one he loves.'" Abu Dharr said something similar.
The Prophet took hold of the hands of his grandsons Al Hasan and Al Hussain and said, "Whosoever loves me and loves these two, their father and mother, will receive the same degree as myself on the Day of Resurrection."
We are given the good news transmitted by Anas that the Prophet said, "Whosoever loves me will be with me in Paradise."
The Companions and Their Followers Love of the Prophet
The narrations of the Companions and their followers (Tabien and Tabi Tabien) and esteemed learned persons regarding their love for the Prophet and their longing for him
Abu Hurayrah tells us that the Messenger of Allah told his Companions, "Those in my nation whose love will be the strongest are those who come after me. Amongst them there are some who would trade their family and wealth to have seen me."
Omar said to the Prophet "I love you more than myself."
