Nabi SAW once said: "Some of my
followers coming after me will love me very much. They will wish that
they could see me, even if they had to spend their wealth, leave
their families and spend all their possessions for it."
Khalid's daughter Abdah says: "My
father while in bed would talk about and remember Nabi SAW with love
and eagerness for him. He would also remember each and every Muhajir
and Ansari (by name) and would say, "Some of them are my elders
and others are my juniors. My heart is eager to meet them. O, Allah!
Call me back soon, so that I may be able to meet all of them. He
would keep on doing this till he would be overtaken by sleep."
