Hadith About Souls Meeting Before
الأَرْوَاحُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا ائْتَلَفَ وَمَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا اخْتَلَفَ
Souls are troops collected together and those who familiarised with each other (in the heaven from where these come) would have affinity, with one another (in the world) and those amongst them who opposed each other (in the Heaven) would also be divergent (in the world).
Sahih Muslim, Book 23, Hadith 5159

The Hadith about souls meeting before birth is a saying of the Islamic prophet Muhammad which states that all souls were present together and knew each other before birth. According to the Hadith, Allah created the souls and asked them “Am I not your Lord?” and all of them responded, “Yes, we testify to it.”
This Hadith is found in the collections of Bukhari and Muslim. The Hadith is interpreted in various ways by scholars and thinkers. Some believe it represents the pre-existence of souls, while others say it is simply a metaphor for the spiritual nature of humans. Still others suggest it speaks of the oneness of the human spirit and its connection to Allah. The Hadith is seen by many as a reminder of the unity of all souls. It serves as a reminder to believers that, despite differences in appearance and culture, all humans are in essence the same and should treat each other with love and respect.
