Anas reported that a man asked the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Prophet of Allah, when will the Final Hour come?" He said, "Have you not made preparation for it?" He replied, " I am not prepared for a terrible event , but I love Allah and His Messenger." He said, "A man is with the one he loves."

أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ فَقَالَ وَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟ قَالَ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ مِنْ كَبِيرٍ إِلاَّ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ
