3161. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When Allāh loves a slave He calls Jibrīl, (saying): 'Indeed I love so-and-so, so love him.'" He said: "So he calls out in the heavens. Then love for him descends among the people of the earth. That is as in the saying of Allāh: Verily, those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Gracious will grant love for them.[1] And when Allāh hates a slave He calls out to Jibrīl, (saying): 'Indeed I hate so-and-so.' So he calls out in the heavens. Then hatred for him descends upon the earth.'" (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. Similar to this has been reported by 'Abdur-Rahmān bin 'Abdullāh bin Dīnār, from his father, from Abū Shālih, from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ.

Commentary
Allāh loves His righteous servants, the creatures of the heaven also love them, and love for them is also placed in the hearts of the righteous people. But the evil people are treated on the contrary, and the righteous people also hate the evil doers.
