Among the seven whom Allah will shade in His shade on the Day when there is no shade except His: a man whose heart is attached to the mosques, and two men who love each other for the sake of Allah.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He distinguishes between a person saying "O Allah, give me relief through prayer" and "O Allah, give me relief from prayer". "Give me relief through prayer" is better, meaning make prayer a comfort for my heart.
"Give me relief from prayer" means, "I seek refuge in Allah from it." This is the man whose heart is constantly attached to the mosques; he is occupied in the places of prayer and in prayer itself. When he finishes one prayer, he waits for the next, and so on.
The fourth:
two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only رجلان تحابا في الله اجتمعا عليه وتفرقا عليه
Sahih al-Bukhari 660
There is no kinship between them, no financial relationship, and no natural friendship. Rather, he loves him for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) because he saw him worshipping Allah and being upright upon His Shari'ah, so he loved him. If he is a relative or a friend or the like, there is no harm in loving him from two angles: from the angle of kinship and friendship, and from the angle of faith. These two love each other for the sake of Allah and become like brothers due to the religious, legal bond between them, which is the worship of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). They gathered together upon it in this world and were separated by it; nothing separated them except death. He loves him until he dies. These two will be shaded by Allah in His shade on the Day when there is no shade except His, and they will be on the Day of Resurrection in the state of their love and their companionship, as Allah the Exalted said:
Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous الأخلاء يومئذ بعضهم لبعض عدو إلا المتقين
[Az-Zukhruf 43:67]
