Hadith 35609
Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his
father from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "If Allah loves a slave, he says to
Jibril, 'I love so-and-so, so love him,' so Jibril loves him and then
calls out to the people of heaven, 'Allah loves so-and-so, so love
him,' and the people of heaven love him, and then acceptance is placed
in the Earth for him." When Allah is angry with a slave, Malik said,
"I consider that he says the like of that about His anger."
Muwatta Malik Book 51, Hadith 15

a just imam, a
youth who grows up worshipping Allah, a man whose heart is attached to
the mosque when he leaves it until he returns to it, two men who love
each other in Allah and meet for that and part for that, a man who
remembers Allah when he is alone and his eyes overflow with tears, a
man who refuses the approaches of a noble, beautiful woman, saying "I
fear Allah," and a man who gives sadaqa and conceals it so that his
left hand does not know what his right hand gives.' " Muwatta Malik Book 51, Hadith 14

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Hazim ibn Dinar that Abu Idris
al-Khawlani said, "I entered the Damascus mosque and there was a young
man with a beautiful mouth and white teeth sitting with some people.
When they disagreed about something, they referred it to him and
proceeded from his statement. I inquired about him, and it was said,
'This is Muadh ibn Jabal.' The next day I went to the noon-prayer, and
I found that he had preceded me to the noon prayer and I found him
praying."
Abu Idris continued, "I waited for him until he had
finished the prayer. Then I came to him from in front of him and
greeted him and said, 'By Allah! I love you for Allah!' He said, 'By
Allah?' I said, 'By Allah.' He said, 'By Allah?' I said, 'By Allah.'
He said, 'By Allah?' I said, 'By Allah.' "
He continued, "He
took me by the upper part of my cloak and pulled me to him and said,
'Rejoice! I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, say, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said, 'My love
is obliged for those who love each other in Me, and those who sit with
each other in Me, and those who visit each other in Me, and those who
give to each other generously in Me.' " ' " Muwatta Malik Book 51, Hadith 16
