2387. Ṣawfān bin 'Assāl narrated that a Bedouin with a loud voice came and said: "O Muḥammad! A man loves a people but does not catch up to them (in deeds)." So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "A man shall be with whomever he loves." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Ḥasan] Ṣaḥīḥ. (Another chain) from Ṣawfān bin 'Assāl from the Prophet ﷺ with similar to the (previous) narration of Maḥmūd.

Commentary

Whoso loves the people of righteousness and piety and tries to emulate their example, but falls short of the model, then in spite of his failure to come up to their level will, by Allāh's grace, he will be placed with those virtuous men whom he loved and tried to follow.
