عَن أَنَسِ بْن مَالِكٍ رضى الله عنه، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَارِجَانِ مِنَ المَسْجِدِ، فَلَقِيَنَا رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ سُدَّةِ المَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «مَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟»، فَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ اسْتَكَانَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا كَبِيرَ صِيَامٍ، وَلا صَلاةٍ، وَلا صَدَقَةٍ،وَلَكِنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، قَالَ: «أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ».
Anas ibn Mālik narrated, saying:
As I was with the Prophet, coming out of the Mosque, a man met us near the shaded area of the mosque. He said: ‘Messenger of God, when is the Last Hour?’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ‘What have you prepared for it?’ The man appeared to hesitate. He then said: ‘Messenger of God, I have not prepared much in the way of fasting, prayer or charity, but I love God and His Messenger’. The Prophet said: ‘You are with those you love’.

Indeed with God alone rests the knowledge of when the Last Hour will come; and He it is who sends down rain; and He knows what the wombs contain; whereas no one knows what they will earn tomorrow, and no one knows in what land they will die. God alone is omniscient and takes cognisance of all things.
(31: 34)
Say: ‘If you love God, follow me; God will love you and forgive you your sins. God is much-forgiving, ever-merciful’.
(3: 31)
All who obey God and the Messenger shall be among those upon whom God has bestowed His blessings: the prophets, and those who never deviate from the truth, and the martyrs and the righteous ones. How goodly a company are these!
(4: 69)
Say:
‘If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your spouses, your clan, and the property you have acquired, and the business in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you take pleasure, are dearer to you than God and His Messenger and the struggle in His cause, then wait until God shall make manifest His will. God does not provide guidance to the transgressors’.
(9: 24)
