Summary
Malik transmits from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih, from his father, from Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him), that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: when God loves a servant, He says to Gabriel: I love so-and-so, so love him. Gabriel loves him, then calls out among the inhabitants of heaven: God loves so-and-so, so love him; the inhabitants of heaven love him, then acceptance is placed for him on earth. And when God hates a servant... Malik said: I do not think he said anything but the same about hatred. 1
