The Prophet (ﷺ) 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."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 59, Hadith 20
