I asked my Lord - the Honorable the Exalted - for five things regarding you. He granted them to me. The first thing was that when the Earth is rent asunder I will be the first one to be resurrected and wipe the dirt off from my face, and you will be with me. This was accepted. The second thing I asked my Lord for was that when I am taken to the Scale for my deeds to be reckoned, you will be with me. This was accepted. The third thing that I asked my Lord - the Honorable the Exalted - for was that you will be the one carrying my flag called ‘Lewa’ Allahu Akbar’ on which it is written, ‘The prosperous ones are those who attain Paradise!’ This was accepted. The fourth thing that I asked was that you will be the one at my Pool to serve water to my nation. This was accepted. And the fifth thing that I asked my Lord for was that you will be the one leading my nation to Paradise. This was also accepted. Therefore, I praise God for what He granted me.”
