Volume 9, Book 93, Number 577:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel, saying, ‘Allah loves so and so, O Gab –
riel love him’ So Gabriel would love him and then would make an announcement in the Heavens:
‘Allah has loved so and-so therefore you should love him also.’ So all the dwellers of the Heavens
would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the people on the earth.” (See Hadith No. 66,
Vol. 8)
