"عَنْ عَبْد اللهِ بْن أَبِى أوْفَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنِّى لَمُشْتَاقٌ إِلَى إِخْوَانِى، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ يَا رَسُولَ الله: أَلَسْنَا إِخْوَانَكَ؟ قَالَ: لا، أَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابى، إِخَوانى قَوْمٌ آمَنُوا بِى وَلَمْ يَرَوْنى، فَجَاءَ أبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَخْبَرَهُ عُمَرُ بِالَّذِى قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ ألا تُحِبُّ قَومًا بَلَغَهُمْ أنَّكَ تُحِبُّنِى فَأحَبُّوك فَأَحَبَّهُمُ الله - ﷻ - ".

"From ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Awfā that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I truly long for my brothers.' ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb said: 'O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?' He said: 'No, you are my Companions. My brothers are a people who believed in me and did not see me.' Then Abū Bakr came, and ʿUmar told him what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Would you not love a people to whom it has reached that you love me, so they love you, and Allah - ﷻ - loves them?'".
