It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ was approached by his freed slave Thawban:
Thawban became impatient when he did not see the Prophet ﷺ, expressing fear that he would not see him in Paradise due to their differing ranks.
Upon hearing this, Allah Ta’ala revealed: “Those who obey Allah and the Messenger are with those whom Allah has blessed, namely, the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are they as companions.”
May Allah allow us to be amongst this rank.
