Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who narrates from Jibril (peace be upon him), who narrates from Allah the Blessed and Exalted, that Allah the Blessed and Exalted says: "Whoever shows disrespect to any of My friends, then surely he has openly invited Me to war, and I do not hesitate in anything that I am going to do as much as I hesitate in seizing the soul of My believing servant (because) he dislikes death (due to the pain of the body), and I also dislike causing him pain, but there is no alternative for him other than this."
