It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Love is (granted) from Allah, and renown is in the heavens. When Allah Almighty loves a servant, He says: 'O Jibril! Indeed, your Lord loves so-and-so, so love him.'" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Jibril makes an announcement (among the inhabitants of the heavens), and Allah Almighty sends down love for him among the people of the earth."
This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain, and Sharik (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
