حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ، قَالَ: نَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: أَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ ". قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَمَا مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ ذَاكَ، إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا جَاءَ الْبَشِيرُ مِنَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، وَكَانَ اللهُ لِلِقَائِهِ أَحَبَّ، وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا جَاءَهُ مَا يَكْرَهُ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ وَكَانَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِلِقَائِهِ أَكْرَهَ

✧ Whoever loves to meet God, God loves to meet him; and whoever hates to meet God, God hates to meet him.' They said: 'O Messenger of God, there is none of us but hates death.' He said: 'It is not that. When the believer receives the glad tidings from God, he loves to meet God, and God is more loving of meeting him. But when the disbeliever receives what he hates, he hates to meet God, and God, Mighty and Majestic, is more hating of meeting him.'
