It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: When Allah loves a servant, He calls Jibreel (peace be upon him) and says, "I love such and such a servant, so you also love him." Thus, Jibreel (peace be upon him) begins to love him, and he announces to the inhabitants of the heavens, "Your Lord loves such and such a person, so you also love him." Consequently, all the inhabitants of the heavens begin to love him, and then acceptance for him is placed among the people of the earth. And when Allah dislikes a servant, the same happens in this manner.
