Musnad Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili 129:160

Humayd al-Tawil from Anas bin Malik (RA)

حميد الطويل عن أنس بن مالك

Hadith 129:160

Zuhayr narrated to us, Abdullah bin Bakr narrated to us, Humayd narrated to us, from Anas. Abu Wahb said—and I do not know but that he mentioned it from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)—that he said: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, all of us hate death." He said, "It is not that [which is] hatred of death. But when the bringer of glad tidings from Allah comes to him with what he is heading toward, he loves to meet Allah, and Allah loves to meet him. And the disbeliever or the wicked person, when he is present [at the time of death], there comes to him what he is meeting, so he hates to meet Allah, and Allah hates to meet him."

حدثنا زهير حدثنا عبد الله بن بكر حدثنا حميد عن أنس قال أبو وهب ولا أعلم إلا ذكره عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال * من أحب لقاء الله أحب الله لقاءه ومن كره لقاء الله كره الله لقاءه قالوا يا رسول الله كلنا يكره الموت قال ليس ذاك بكراهية الموت ولكن إذا جاءه البشير من الله بما هو صائر إليه أحب لقاء الله وأحب الله لقاءه وإن الكافر أو الفاجر إذا حضر جاءه ما هو لاق وكره لقاء الله وكره الله لقاءه
