4239. It was narrated that Hanzalah Tamimi Al-Usaiyidi, the scribe, said: "We were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and we spoke of Paradise and Hell until it
was as if we could see them. Then I got up and went to my family and children, and I laughed and played (with them). Then I remembered how we had been, and I went out and met Abu Bakr, and said: 'I have become a hypocrite!' Abu Bakr said: 'We all do that.'" So Hanzalah went and mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "O Hanzalah, if you were (always) as you are with me, the angels would shake hands with you in your beds and in your streets. O Hanzalah, there is a time for this and a time for that." (Sahih)
