From al-Malfūdh Sharīf, Pg 509:
How can one recognize a Walī of Allāh Almighty?
In a Hadīth Sharīf, our Master Sayyidunā Rasūlullah şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam states:
أولياء الله الذين إذا رؤوا ذكر الله
The remembrance of Allāh Almighty comes to your heart when you see the Awliya of Allah Almighty.[1]
The same Hadīth Sharīf is found in al-Bayān wa al-Ta’rīf, on the authority of Sayyidunā Ibn Abbas:
أولياء الله الذين إذا رؤوا ذكر الله أخرجه الحكيم الترمذي والبزار عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما وأخرجه أبو نعيم في الحلية من حديث سعد بن أبي وقاص رضي الله عنه سببه عن ابن عباس قال سألت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من أولياء الله فذكره
