Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 20168a
"منْ أحبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، ومنْ كَرِه لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِه اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، قَالُوا: يا رسُولَ اللهِ كُلُّنَا يَكْرهُ الْمَوْتَ، قَال لَيس ذَلِك كَرَاهيةَ الْموْتِ؛ ولَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا حُضِرَ جاءَ الْبَشِيرُ مِنَ الله بمَا هُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَيهِ. (فلَيس شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيهِ) مِنْ أَنْ يكُونَ قَدْ لَقِى اللهَ، فَأَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، فَأَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وإِنَّ الْفَاجِرَ إِذَا حُضِر جَاءَهُ ما هُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَيهِ مِنَ الشرِّ فَكَره لِقَاءَ اللهِ فَكَرِه اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ".

"Whoever loves meeting Allah, Allah loves meeting him, and whoever dislikes meeting Allah, Allah dislikes meeting him." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, all of us dislike death." He said: "That is not the dislike of death. But when the believer is near death, the good news comes to him from Allah of what he is returning to. (Nothing is more beloved to him) than to have met Allah. So he loves meeting Allah, and Allah loves meeting him. And when the wicked person is near death, there comes to him what he is returning to of evil, so he dislikes meeting Allah, and Allah dislikes meeting him."
