Sunnah – Q3

Narrated by Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have longed to meet my brothers. The Companions said: Are we not your brothers? The Prophet said: You are my Companions, and my brothers are those who will believe without having seen me.
