عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ» قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُلُّنَا نَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَ «لَيْسَ ذَاكَ كَرَاهِيَةَ الْمَوْتِ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا حَضَرَ جَاءَهُ الْبَشِيرُ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ بِمَا هُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَيْهِ فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ لَقِيَ اللهَ ﷻ فَأَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَإِنَّ الْفَاجِرَ أَوِ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا حَضَرَ جَاءَهُ بِمَا هُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَوْ مَا يَلْقَى مِنَ الشَّرِّ فَكَرِهَ لِقَاءََََ اللهِ وَكَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ»

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ he said: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him." We said: O Messenger of Allah, all of us hate death. He said: "It is not that, the hatred of death, but when the believer is present, the bearer of good news comes to him from Allah ﷻ with what he is going to, and there is nothing more beloved to him than that he has met Allah ﷻ, so Allah loves to meet him. And when the wicked or the disbeliever is present, he comes to him with what he is going to of evil, or what he will meet of evil, so he hates to meet Allah, and Allah hates to meet him."
