قَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِدَاكَ آبَاؤُنَا وَ أُمَّهَاتُنَا إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْمَعْرُوفِ فِي الدُّنْيَا عُرِفُوا بِمَعْرُوفِهِمْ فَبِمَ يُعْرَفُونَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِذَا أَدْخَلَ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ أَمَرَ رِيحاً عَبِقَةً طَيِّبَةً فَلَزِقَتْ بِأَهْلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ فَلَا يَمُرُّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ بِمَلَإٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَجَدُوا رِيحَهُ فَقَالُوا هَذَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from zakariyya Al Momin, from Dawood Bin Farqad, or Quteyba Al A’asha, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The companions of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! May our fathers and our mothers be sacrificed for you<sup>saww</sup>! The performers of the acts of kindness in the world are known for their acts of kindness, so how will they be known in the Hereafter?’ So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘When Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Enters the people of the Paradise into the Paradise, would Command a misty aromatic wind, so it would affix itself to the people (performers) of the acts of kindness. Thus, not one of them would pass by a group from the inhabitants of the Paradise except that they would find its aroma, so they would say, ‘This one is from the people (performer) of the acts of kindness’.
