Riyad as-Salihin, 381
Mu'adh (bin Jabal) (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah, the Exalted, has said: 'For those who love one another for the sake of My Glory, there will be seats of light (on the Day of Resurrection), and they will be envied by the Prophets and martyrs". <b>[At- Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan Sahih]</b>.
وعن معاذ رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
قال الله عز وجل: المتحابون في جلالي، لهم منابر من نور يغبطهم النبيون والشهداء
. ((رواه الترمذي وقال: حديث حسن صحيح)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Those who love one another for the sake of Allah’s glory occupy a great rank and an honorable position. They are guided by light in the worldly life and will have pulpits of light on the Day of Judgment.<br>
2) Vying for doing good deeds is the way of the faithful believers.<br>

<b>Words in the Hadith:</b><br>
Prophets and martyrs will admire them: they will wish to have the same rank and honor as theirs, without wishing that those people should lose such rank and honor though, and this is what is known as Ghibtah (malice-free envy).
