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]
