Allah, the Almighty, said: Those who love one another for the sake of My glory will have pulpits of light for which the prophets and martyrs will envy them
Authentic hadithعن معاذ بن جبل رضي الله عنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: «قَالَ اللهُ -عَزَّ وجَلَّ-: المُتَحَابُّون فِي جَلاَلِي، لَهُم مَنَابِرُ مِن نُورٍ يَغْبِطُهُم النَبِيُّونَ والشُهَدَاء».
Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, the Almighty, said: 'Those who love one another for the sake of My glory will have pulpits of light for which the prophets and martyrs will envy them.'"
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) relates to us about a group of believers who, on the Day of Judgment, will have pulpits and elevated places where they will sit as a sign of honor for them from Allah. This is due to their love of each other for the sake of Allah and glorifying Him, and their love for each other due to the faith that they are united in. Even the prophets (peace be upon them) will wish to have their status. This does not necessarily mean that they are better than the prophets, because this particular virtue does not supersede the general virtue.
