Hadith 4824

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When Allah loves a servant, He calls Gabriel: ‘I love so-and-so, so love him.’ Gabriel loves him, then calls in heaven: ‘Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.’ Heaven’s people love him, then acceptance is placed for him on earth. When He hates a servant, He calls Gabriel: ‘I hate so-and-so, so hate him.’ Gabriel hates him, then calls heaven’s people: ‘Allah hates so-and-so, so hate him.’ They hate him, then hatred is placed for him on earth.”
