Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:

*وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَٱلصَّٰلِحِينَۚ وَحَسُنَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ رَفِيقٗا*

_And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be in the company of those blessed by Allah: the prophets, the people of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous—what honourable company!_

[4:69]

Do you know what the cause of revelation for this Ayah is? 

Abu Nu’aym and Tabaraani narrated this Hadith,

On the Authority of Ai’sha رضي الله عنها, she said: 

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said _“Oh Messenger of Allah! By Allah, Indeed you are more beloved to me than myself, my family, my children and anything else. Whilst I am in my house I remember you, and I am not able to remain patient until I come to you so that I look at you, and when I remembered my death and your death, *I realised that when you enter Jannah you will be raised to be amongst the Prophets, and when I enter Jannah I am scared I won’t see you.”*_

The Prophet ﷺ did not respond to him, until Jibreel عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ descended with this Ayah, _“And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be in the company of those blessed by Allah: the prophets, the people of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous—what honourable company!"_

[This was collected by Al-Hafiz Abu `Abdullah Al-Maqdisi in his book, Sifat Al-Jannah, Al-Tabari included it in his Tafsir (8/534-535)]

Another Hadith, equally as beautiful:

عن أنس ابن مالك قال:

*أن رجلا سأل النبي ﷺ عن الساعة، قال متى الساعة؟ قال: و ماذا أعددت لها؟ قال: لا شيء إلا إني أحب الله و رسوله ﷺ*

*قال: أنت مع من أحببت.*

*قال أنس: فما فرحنا بشيء فرحنا بقول النبي ﷺ “أنت مع من أحببت"*

_

Anas رضي الله عنه narrates that a man asked the Prophet ﷺ about Qiyamah. 

He said *_“When is Qiyamah?”_* He ﷺ said *_“and what have you prepared for it?”_* He said *_“Nothing except that I love Allah and his Messenger ﷺ”_*

The Prophet ﷺ said *_“You will be with whom you love”_*

Anas رضي الله عنه said _*“We did not rejoice with anything like we did with the saying of the Prophet ﷺ “You will be with whom you love.”*_

[Sahih al-Bukhari 3688]
