The Power of Love

SUMMARY: A man asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) what he thought of someone who loves certain people but does not get close to them, and the Prophet replied that a person will be with those whom they love.

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to Messenger of Allah and said, "O Messenger of Allah! What do you think of a man who loves some people but does not go any nearer to their position?" He replied, "A man will be with those whom he loves". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ جاء رجل إلى رسول الله فقال‏:‏ يا رسول الله كيف تقول في رجل أحب قومًا ولم يلحق بهم‏؟‏ فقال رسول الله ‏:‏‏ "‏ المرء مع من أحب‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
