Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 70
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 then Gabriel would make an announcement among the
residents of the Heaven, 'Allah loves so-and-so, therefore, you should love him also.' So, all the
residents of the Heavens would love him and then he is granted the pleasure of the people of the
earth."
I asked `Aisha what did the Prophet (ﷺ) use to do at home. She replied. "He used to keep himself busy serving his family and when it was time for the prayer, he would get up for prayer."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None will have the sweetness (delight) of Faith (a) till he loves a person and loves him only for Allah's sake, (b) and till it becomes dearer to him to be thrown in the fire than to revert to disbelief (Heathenism) after Allah has brought him out of it, (c) and till Allah and His Apostle become dearer to him than anything else."
