While the Prophet ﷺ and I were coming out of the mosque, a man met us outside the gate. The man said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! When will be the Hour?" The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "What have you prepared for it?" The man became afraid and ashamed and then said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I haven't prepared for it much of fasts, prayers or charitable gifts but I love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You will be with the one whom you love."
