Iyaadh bin Ghanam (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that he heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) saying, “The best, most beloved and highest ranking people of my ummah – as I was informed by the Mala’-ul-A’laa (close angels) – are those people who outwardly smile on account of pondering over the infinite mercy of Allah Ta‘ala, but their hearts weep out of fear for Allah Ta‘ala’s severe punishment. Morning and evening, they remember Allah in His pure houses (i.e. the masaajid).
