The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : He informed Jibril that ...

The Shaykh : He informed Jibril that He loves him, so Jibril loves him, then Jibril announces in the heavens that Allah loves so-and-so, so they love him, then acceptance is bestowed upon him on earth.

The questioner : ... We asked, who on earth is this? From ... from the disbelievers and from the Muslims, and...

The Shaykh : It is not the apparent meaning regarding the believers who love Allah. Why do I say this? Otherwise, the apparent meaning of the hadith is generality. I say this because the disbelievers hate the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), without doubt, and he is the most beloved of people to Allah, as far as we know. The apparent meaning is that the criterion is the love of the believers. It may be said that His saying
Acceptance is bestowed upon him يوضع له القبول
is broader than love, but this is also refuted by the issue that the disbelievers do not accept him. The apparent meaning is that the intended referent is the awliya (close friends of Allah), meaning those who love Allah and love this. Yes.
The student: The time, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes, the time, oh
