Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ ابْنٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتُحِبُّهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّكَ اللَّهُ كَمَا أُحِبُّهُ فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي مَا فَعَلَ ابْ
نُ فُلَانٍ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَبِيهِ أَمَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ لَا تَأْتِيَ بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَجَدْتَهُ يَنْتَظِرُكَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَهُ خَاصَّةً أَمْ لِكُلِّنَا قَالَ بَلْ لِكُلِّكُمْ

English Translation
Wakīʿ narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Muʿāwiyah ibn Qurrah, from his father [Qurrah ibn Iyās] (رضي الله عنه) that a man used to come to the Prophet ﷺ with a son of his. the Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'Do you love him?' He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, may Allāh love you as I love him.' Then the boy was not seen for some time, so the Prophet ﷺ asked: 'What happened to the son of so-and-so?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, he died.' the Prophet ﷺ said to his father: 'Would you not love that whenever you come to any gate of Paradise, you find him there waiting to open it for you?' A man said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, is this for him specifically or for all of us?' He ﷺ said: 'Rather, for all of you.'
