Is it true that whoever loves a righteous person for the sake of Allah, Allah will admit him to Paradise with him, in the same rank?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is authentically established in the two Sahih collections that a person will be with whom he loves, and that whoever loves Allah and His Messenger will be with those he loves. This companionship does not necessitate that the lover and the beloved be of the same rank. Ibn Hajar stated that companionship occurs merely by being together in something, even if the ranks differ, and An-Nawawi said that being with them does not necessitate that one's status and reward be identical to theirs in every respect.
