Souls are like conscripted soldiers; those whom they recognize, they get along with, and those whom they don't recognize, they will not get along with. [Bukhari]
It may have happened to you -- you like a person at first sight, without even knowing them. This is because the souls have affinity and how strong friendships develop.
When the youth in Surah Kahf went away, disgusted with the pagan festival of their people, and gathered under the shade of a tree, they each was trying to conceal his belief from others out of fear. None of them were familiar with each other, nor did they know as to why they had come there. The truth of the matter is that they were brought together on that spot by the Power that lit the light of faith in their hearts. [ibn Kathir]
It is important to love the righteous and keep company of the righteous. They are means to take you closer to Allah and strengthen your faith, and they can help you overcome your shortcomings.
May Allah grant us righteous companions. Ameen.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
