The fame of the saints in the earthly and spiritual
worlds
The expeditiously received glad tidings are a sign of
Allah’s pleasure and approval. It is a sign of divine love
as their turning to Allah is itself a sign of their divine
acceptance. Their hearts become radiant and this
becomes apparent on their faces as well. Their
foreheads shine with a divine light. The signs of
asceticism and piety are expressed in their lives due to
which the populace draws close to them. They present
themselves to them. They mention their greatness.
They express their love and devotion for them. They
seek and draw blessings from them. This devotion is
not their personal act nor does anyone else bind them
to do so, but they are divinely guided to do so. There is
a Hadith in Sahih Bukhari and other reliable books of
Hadith:
Translation: Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be well
pleased with him) relates that the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: When Almighty Allah
loves a person, He tells Jibreel (May peace be upon
him): Allah loves so and so a person, you also love him
(or her). Then Jibreel (May peace be upon him) also
starts loving that person. Jibreel (May peace be upon
him) announces in the heavens: Verily, Allah loves so
and so a person, so you also love him. Then the
dwellers of the heavens start loving that person. Then
that person’s renown is placed on the earth. (Sahih
Bukhari, Hadith No. 3209; Sahih Muslim, Hadith No.
6873; Muwatta Imam Malik, Hadith No. 1747; Musnad
Imam Ahmed bin Hambal, Hadith No. 7840)
Just think over this! They are mentioned in the
heavens. Their greatness is described in the spiritual
realms. As they are the beloved of Almighty Allah, the
angels love them and make them their beloved. This
love doesn’t stop there, but it is placed on the earth
and love for them is cast into the hearts of people.
