Sahih Muslim 2637c (Book 45, Hadith 203) #13781
Signs of Allah's Love

SUMMARY: People's love for Umar b. Abd al-'Aziz is a sign of Allah's love for him, as narrated by Abu Huraira from the Prophet (PBUH).

Suhail b. Abi Salih, reported: We were in Arafa that there happened to pass Umar b. Abd al-'Aziz and he was the Amir of Hajj. People stood up in order to catch a glimpse of him. I said to my father: Father, I think that Allah loves Umar b. Abd al- 'Aziz. He said: How is it? I said: It is because of the love in people's heart for him. Thereupon he said: By One Who created your father, I heard Abu Huraira narrating from Allah's Messenger a hadith like one transmitted on the authority of Suhail.
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ الْمَاجِشُونُ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا بِعَرَفَةَ فَمَرَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمَوْسِمِ فَقَامَ النَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي يَا أَبَتِ إِنِّي أَرَى اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ قُلْتُ لِمَا لَهُ مِنَ الْحُبِّ فِي قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ بِأَبِيكَ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the signs of Allah’s love for someone, which is evident in people’s hearts and minds towards that person. The hadith was narrated by Suhail b. Abi Salih who was in Arafa when he saw people standing up to catch a glimpse of Umar b. Abd al-'Aziz, the Amir of Hajj at that time, out of their love and respect for him. When Suhail asked his father why this was so, his father told him that he heard Abu Huraira narrating from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ a similar hadith about how people’s love for someone is an indication of Allah’s love towards them too. This teaches us to be kind and respectful to everyone around us as it could be an indication that we are loved by God Almighty too!
