Amr, Al As's son said, "There is no one more beloved to me than the Messenger of Allah .”
Abda, the daughter of Khalid, Ma'dan's son spoke of her father saying, "Khalid never went to bed without yearning for the Messenger of Allah and his Emigrant (Muhajirun) and Helper (Ansar) Companions, and he would name each one of them. He would say, 'They are my root and branch, my heart yearns for them, I have yearned for them for a long time, O my Lord, hasten my return to You!'"
Isaac's son tells us that during the encounter of Uhud the father, brother and husband of one of the Ansari women were killed as they fought alongside the Messenger of Allah . However, despite her loss, her only concern was for the safety of the Prophet . The lady asked anxiously for news of the Prophet , whereupon she was told, 'Praise be to Allah, he is as well as you would wish," She asked, "Show him to me so that I may see him." When she caught sight of him, she exclaimed, "Now that I know you are safe, any affliction has become as nothing."
The Caliph Omar went out one night to see that all was well in the community and happened to see a lighted lamp in the house of an elderly lady who was carding some wool. As she worked away she said, "The praise of the good be upon Muhammad, may the blessed bless him! I stand in tears before dawn. If only I knew when death gives us different forms whether the Abode will join me to my beloved." Upon hearing these heart-felt words Omar sat down and tears fell from his eyes.
As death approached Bilal, his wife called out, "O sorrow." Bilal responded, "O what joy, I will meet those I love, Muhammad and his party!"
When the Meccans took Zayd, Ad-Dathina's son out of the Sacred Precincts to martyr him, Abu Sufyan, Harb's son, said to him, "I ask you by Allah, don't you wish that Muhammad was with us now so that he would be in your place and that it would be his head that will be severed, and you were with your family?" Zayd replied, "By Allah, I would not wish that Muhammad would be in a place where even a thorn would prick him if that was the condition of me being returned to my family!" Abu Sufyan said, "I have never seen anyone who loved another in the way the Companions of Muhammad love Muhammad!"
Abbas' son tells us of the time a woman from Mecca came to the Prophet in Medina. Upon her arrival the Prophet asked her on oath to swear that she had not left her home on account of her husband's anger, or because she wanted a change in her surroundings, and that the only reason for her leaving was because of her love of Allah
