Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "When Allah loves a servant, He calls Jibril (peace be upon him) and says: 'Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.' Then Jibril (peace be upon him) calls out to the inhabitants of the heavens: 'Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.' Then acceptance is placed for him among the people of the earth."
