حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُثَنَّى، نَا خَالِدٌ، نَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ; أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كُلُّنَا يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَ: لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِكَرَاهِيَةِ الْمَوْتِ، وَلَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا احْتُضِرَ جَاءَهُ الْبَشِيرُ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ لِقَاءِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَأَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَأَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى.

✧ Whoever loves the meeting with Allah, Mighty and Majestic, Allah loves his meeting. And whoever hates the meeting with Allah, Mighty and Majestic, Allah hates his meeting. They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, all of us hates death.' He said: 'It is not the hatred of death, but when the believer is at the point of death, there comes to him the bringer of good tidings from Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and nothing is more beloved to him than the meeting with Allah, Mighty and Majestic. So Allah loves his meeting and he loves the meeting with Allah, Blessed and Exalted.'
