Summary

A report of Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him) in the chapter on God loving a servant and making him beloved to His servants, in the Book of Righteousness of Sahih Muslim. Love passes from God to Gabriel, then to the people of heaven, then to acceptance on earth. Suhayl ibn Abi Salih read the people's love for Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz at the pilgrimage in this light. 1
