Musnad Ahmad 8500

Translation

✧ When God loves a servant, He calls Jibril ﷺ and says: I love so-and-so, so love him. He said: So Jibril loves him. He said: Then he calls out in the heaven: God loves so-and-so, so love him. He said: So they love him. He said: Then God places acceptance for him on the earth. And when He hates someone, it is like that.
