Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Among Allah’s servants are people who are neither prophets nor martyrs, but prophets and martyrs envy them on the Day of Resurrection for their status with Allah.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, tell us who they are?” He said: “They are people who loved each other for the spirit of Allah without kinship between them or wealth exchanged. By Allah, their faces are light, and they are upon light; they do not fear when people fear, nor grieve when people grieve,” and he recited: Unquestionably, [for] the allies of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve [Yunus: 62]. [Narrated by Abu Dawud]
Al-Baghawi narrated it in Sharh As-Sunnah from Abu Malik with the wording of Al-Masabih, with additions, and likewise in Shu’ab Al-Iman.
