    VISITING THE PIOUS AND SITTING WITH THEM AS WELL AS ADOPTING THEIR COMPANY

    Allah(sw) has said

    Musa said to his attendant: I will not give up until I reach the
    junction of two seas or(until)I spend years and years in travel...
    Musa said unto him: May I follow you, on the footing that you teach
    me something of the (Higher) Truth wich you have been taugh?(18:60-66)

    And keep you soul content with those who call on their Lord morning
    and evening, seeking His Countenance.(18:28

    On the Authority of Anas bin Malik(radiyallahu anhu)who reported that
    after the death of Allah's Messenger(saas) Abu Bakr said to Umar
    (radiyallahu anhum): Let us vistit Umm Aiman(radiyallahu anha) as
    Allah's Messenger(saas) us to visit her. As we came to her, she wept.
    They (Abu Bakr and Umar)said to her: What makes you weep? What is in
    the store (in the next world) for Allah's Messneger(saas) is better
    than (this worldly life). She said: I do'nt cry because of what is
    hidden for Allah's Messenger(saas) (in the next world) which is better
    than this world, but I weep because the revelation which came from
    heaven has stopped. This moved both oh them in to tears and they
    began to cry along with her. (MUSLIM)
