What is the reward for loving the righteous?
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
"You shall be with those whom you love."
Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
"I love the Prophet, peace be upon him, as well as Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them."
"And I hope to be with them by virtue of my love for them,"
"even if I have not performed deeds equal to theirs."
