Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Allah Almighty loves a servant, He says: O Jibreel! I love so-and-so, so you also love him. Then Jibreel announces in the heavens that Allah Almighty loves so-and-so, so you also love him. Then his love is placed among the people of the earth and they begin to love him. Similarly, when Allah Almighty dislikes a servant, He says: O Jibreel! I dislike so-and-so, so you also dislike him. Then Jibreel announces in the heavens that indeed Allah Almighty dislikes so-and-so, so you also dislike him. Then his dislike is placed among the people of the earth and they also begin to dislike him.
