On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
If Allah has loved a servant [of His] He calls Gabriel (on whom
be peace) and says: I love So-and-so, therefore love him. He (the
Prophet pbuh) said: So Gabriel loves him. Then he (Gabriel) calls
out in heaven, saying: Allah loves So-and-so, therefore love him.
And the inhabitants of heaven love him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said:
Then acceptance is established for him on earth. And if Allah has
abhorred a servant [of His], He calls Gabriel and says: I abhor
So-and-so, therefore abhor him. So Gabriel abhors him. Then Gabriel
calls out to the inhabitants of heaven: Allah abhors So-and-so,
therefore abhor him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: So they abhor him,
and abhorrence is established for him on earth.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, Malik, and
at-Tirmidhi).
