MAY YOU ALL BE HONEYED BY ALLAH

May you all be Honeyed by Allah
عسّلكم الله جميعاً

قال رسول اللهﷺ :
The Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, said:

(إذا أحبَّ اللّه عبداً عسّلَه)
If Allah loves a person, he is honeyed by Him,

قالوا: ما عسّلَه!؟
They asked: what does honeying mean?

(قال: (يفتح اللّه عز وجل له عملاً صالحاً قبل موته ثمّ يقبضه عليه
He said, “Allah opens for him the door of a righteous deed before his death, and keeps him (firm) on it until his death”

{ رواه أحمد (١٧٨١٩) } – Narrated by Ahmad 17819

قال العلامة الألباني رحمه الله 
Imam Albanee rahimahullah said:

وأمارة هذا التعسيل بأن يرضى عنه من حوله
and the sign of this honeying is that everyone becomes pleased with that person

(لِما ثبت في زيادةٍ مرفوعةٍ للنّبيّ صلى اللّه عليه وسلم (.. حتى يرضى عنه من حوله
as this has been proven in a ‘Marfoo addition to this hadith (..until everyone becomes pleased with him)
