96. 1. That is, in the world, due to his righteousness and piety, love will be created in the hearts of people for him, as it is mentioned in the hadith: "When Allah makes a (righteous) servant His beloved, Allah says to Jibreel (عليه السلام), 'I love such-and-such servant, so you also love him.' Thus, Jibreel (عليه السلام) also begins to love him. Then Jibreel (عليه السلام) announces in the heavens that Allah loves such-and-such person, so all the inhabitants of the heavens also begin to love him. Then acceptance and popularity are placed for him on the earth." (Sahih Bukhari).
