Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثنا محمد بن المثنى حَدَّثنا محمد بن جعفر حَدَّثنا شعبة أخبرنا قَتَادَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم فقال يارسول اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ قَالَ وَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا قَالَ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا إلاَّ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم فَإِنَّكَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ فَمَا رأيت المسلمين فرحوا بشيء بعد إسلامهم أَشَدَّ فَرَحًا مِنْهُمْ بِقَوْلِهِ
English Translation
Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us: Shu'bah informed us: Qatadah said: I heard Anas say: A Bedouin came to the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour? He stated: «What have you prepared for it?» He said: I have not prepared much for it except that I love Allah and His Messenger. The Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated: «Then you will be with those whom you love.» I never saw the Muslims rejoice at anything after accepting Islam more than they rejoiced at this statement.
