English Translation
Ibn Mas'ud said: 'Three things I swear upon, and a fourth I would swear upon if I did: Allah will not make one who has a share in Islam like one who has no share; no servant draws close to Allah in this world except that He will draw close to him on the Day of Resurrection; and no man loves a people except that he will come with them. The fourth, which I would swear upon: Allah does not conceal a servant in this world except that He will conceal him in the Hereafter.'
