[7]. Surah Al-Araaf [The Heights] 

Ayat 96. And if the people of the towns had believed and had the Taqwâ (piety), certainly, We should have opened for them blessings from the heaven and the earth, but they belied (the Messengers). So We took them (with punishment) for what they used to earn (polytheism and crimes, etc.).

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "A person will be summoned with the one whom he loves".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Another narration is: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH)  was asked; "What about a person who loves a people but cannot be with them?'' (i.e., either he cannot attain their lofty position of righteousness or that he has not met with them in this life). He  [SAWW](PBUH) replied, "A person will be in the company of those whom he loves".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Araaf Ayat 96. And if the people of the towns had believed and had the Taqwâ (piety), certainly, We should have opened for them blessings from the heaven and the earth", Besides bringing to eminence the high merit of entertaining the love for the pious persons, this Hadith tells us about the Mercy and Blessings of Allah which He will shower upon those who love the pious people. Because of this love, Allah will elevate even the inferior people and include them among those whom He loves. This Hadith also serves a warning that association and love with the impious people is extremely dangerous as one can meet the same bad end which is inevitable for them. May Allah save us from it
