أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ سُرَيْجٍ النَّقَّالُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
«مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ» فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِنَّا نَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ فَذَاكَ كَرَاهِيَتُنَا لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا وَلَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا حُضِرَ فَبُشِّرَ بِمَا أَمَامَهُ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ وَأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا حُضِرَ فَبُشِّرَ بِمَا أَمَامَهُ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ وَكَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ»

✧ "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him." 'A'ishah said, "We hate death, so is that hating to meet Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, but when the believer is at the point of death and is given glad tidings of what lies ahead, he loves to meet Allah and Allah loves to meet him. And when the disbeliever is at the point of death and is given tidings of what lies ahead, he hates to meet Allah and Allah hates to meet him."
