أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي زُبَيْدٍ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ» قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَذْكُرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا إِنْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكْنَا قَالَتْ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ لَيْسَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَتْ قَدْ قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ بِالَّذِي تَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا طَمَحَ الْبَصَرُ وَحَشْرَجَ الصَّدْرُ وَاقْشَعَرَّ الْجِلْدُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him.' Shurayh said: I went to Aisha and said: 'O Mother of the Believers, I heard Abu Hurayrah mention a hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and if it is so, then we are doomed.' She said: 'What is that?' I said: 'Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him. There is none of us who does not hate death.' She said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did say that, but it is not as you think. Rather, when the gaze becomes fixed, the chest rattles, and the skin shudders, then at that point, whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him.'
