Hadith 32:107

Ibn Abi ‘Adi narrated to us, from Humayd, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 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 [kind of] hatred of death. Rather, when the believer is at the point of death, the bringer of glad tidings from Allah comes to him with what he is heading toward, so there is nothing more beloved to him than that he should have met Allah, so Allah loves to meet him. And the wicked person, or the disbeliever, when he is at the point of death, there comes to him what he is heading toward of evil, or what he will encounter of evil, so he hates to meet Allah, and Allah hates to meet him."

حدثنا ابن أبي عدي، عن حميد، عن أنس قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " من أحب لقاء الله، أحب الله لقاءه، ومن كره لقاء الله، كره الله لقاءه "، قلنا: يا رسول الله، كلنا نكره الموت. قال: " ليس ذاك كراهية الموت، ولكن المؤمن إذا حضر جاءه البشير من الله، بما هو صائر إليه، فليس شيء أحب إليه من أن يكون قد لقي الله، فأحب الله لقاءه، وإن الفاجر، أو الكافر، إذا حضر جاءه بما هو صائر إليه من الشر، أو ما يلقاه من الشر، فكره لقاء الله، وكره الله لقاءه "
