Chapter 4: One Who Would Love To Have Seen The Prophet (ﷺ) Even If That Was At The Expense Of His Family And His Wealth

باب فِيمَنْ يَوَدُّ رُؤْيَةَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِأَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 2832

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying

The people most loved by me from amongst my Ummah would be those who would come after me but everyone amongst them would have the keenest desire to catch a glimpse of me even at the cost of his family and wealth.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ - عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ مِنْ أَشَدِّ أُمَّتِي لِي حُبًّا نَاسٌ يَكُونُونَ بَعْدِي يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ رَآنِي بِأَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
