#25 Allah loves so and so

Book of Beginning of Creation

(6) Chapter: The reference to angels

Hadith 3209

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said, "If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying, 'Allah loves so and-so; O Gabriel! Love him.' Gabriel would love him and make an announcement amongst the inhabitants of the Heaven. 'Allah loves so-and-so, therefore you should love him also,' and so all the inhabitants of the Heaven would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the people on the earth."
