[Machine] A man passed by, so I approached him and said, "Indeed, this person informed me of a narration from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Have you heard it?" He replied, "He only informed you of the truth." So I informed him, and he said, "I have indeed heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, regarding those who love each other for the sake of Allah, then Allah will shade them with His shade on the Day when there is no shade except His shade. And nothing is better than it." I asked, "May Allah have mercy on you, what is better than it?" He said, "I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'My love is worthy for those who love each other for my sake, and my love is worthy for those who frequently visit each other for my sake, and my love is worthy for those who give generously to each other for my sake.' And I do not know with which of them He began." I asked, "Who are you, may Allah have mercy on you?" He said, "I am 'Ubada ibn As-Samit'. And this is a authentic chain of narration according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) and they did not exclude it." Adh-Dhahabi refrained from discussing it in his summary.
مَرَّ رَجُلٌ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذَا حَدَّثَنِي بِحَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَهَلْ سَمِعْتَهُ؟ يَعْنِي مُعَاذًا قَالَ مَا كَانَ يُحَدِّثُكَ إِلَّا حَقًّا فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ قَالَ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي فِي الْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِي اللَّهِ يُظِلُّهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّ عَرْشِهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ وَمَا هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ قُلْتُ إِيْ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ وَمَا هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْثُرُ عَنِ اللَّهِ ﷻ قَالَ «حَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِيَّ وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَوَاصِلِينَ فِيَّ وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَبَاذِلِينَ فِيَّ» وَلَا أَدْرِي بِأَيَّتِهِمَا بَدَأَ قُلْتُ مَنْ أَنْتَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ؟ قَالَ أَنَا عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ «وَهَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحُ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
