It also tells us that angels descend to earth for certain mission by the Command of Allah. They have no say of their
own in any matter. It also indicates that it is permissible to enquire about Muslim brothers after a long period of time
as this is a sign of true love.

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"Keep only a
believer for a companion and let only a pious eat your food".
[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].
Commentary:
This Hadith forbids Muslims from befriending infidels and stresses that they should establish a bond
of friendship and fraternity with the pious persons only.
The above Hadith signifies that taking believers for company has good consequences on the Muslim. While feeding
only pious people compels the Muslim host to provide only Halal or lawful foodstuff for his household as well as his
guests.
(M.R. Murad)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (PBUH) saying,
"Man follows his
friend's religion, you should be careful who you take for friends".
[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].
Commentary:
This Hadith also induces one to avoid the company of impious people and seek the association of the
pious persons.

Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"A person will be
summoned with the one whom he loves".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Another narration is: The Prophet (PBUH) was asked; "What about a person who loves a people but cannot be with
them?'' (i.e., either he cannot attain their lofty position of righteousness or that he has not met with them in this life).
He (PBUH) replied,
"A person will be in the company of those whom he loves".
Commentary:
Besides bringing to eminence the high merit of entertaining the love for the pious persons, this
Hadith tells us about the Mercy and Blessings of Allah which He will shower upon those who love the pious people.
Because of this love, Allah will elevate even the inferior people and include them among those whom He loves. This
Hadith also serves a warning that association and love with the impious people is extremely dangerous as one can
meet the same bad end which is inevitable for them. May Allah save us from it.

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A bedouin came to Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
and said to him, "When will be the Hour (i.e., the Day of Resurrection)?" He (the Prophet (PBUH)) said,
"What
preparation have you made for it?
'' He said, "Only the love of Allah and His Messenger.'' Then Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) said,
"You will be with those whom you love.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
The narration in Muslim is: The man replied:
"I have made no significant preparation with regard to Salat (prayer),
Saum (fasting) and Sadaqah (charity) but I love Allah and His Messenger".
