[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was approached by a man who said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about a person who loves a certain group of people but is unable to join them?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "A person will be with those whom he loves."  

أحمد:١٩٦٢٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا أَحَبَّ قَوْمًا وَلَمَّا يَلْحَقْ بِهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ  

وَكَذَا حَدَّثَنَاهُ وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ أَيْضًا عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى
