Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يُحِبُّ الْقَوْمَ وَلَا يَبْلُغُ عَمَلَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ.
English Translation
Abu Kamil told us, Hammad told us, from Thabit, from Anas ibn Malik, that a man said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man loves a people but cannot attain their level of deeds." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "A person is with those he loves."
