اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ ، أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ ، كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ " ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : أَوْ بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِهِ إِنَّا لَنَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ ، قَالَ : " لَيْسَ ذَاكِ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ بُشِّرَ بِرِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ وَكَرَامَتِهِ ، فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا أَمَامَهُ فَأَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ وَأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا حُضِرَ بُشِّرَ بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَعُقُوبَتِهِ ، فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَكْرَهَ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا أَمَامَهُ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ وَكَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ " ، اخْتَصَرَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، وَعَمْرٌو ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit: The Prophet said, "Who-ever loves to meet Allah, Allah (too) loves to meet him and who-ever hates to meet Allah, Allah (too) hates to meet him". `Aisha, or some of the wives of the Prophet said, "But we dislike death." He said: It is not like this, but it is meant that when the time of the death of a believer approaches, he receives the good news of Allah's pleasure with him and His blessings upon him, and so at that time nothing is dearer to him than what is in front of him. He therefore loves the meeting with Allah, and Allah (too) loves the meeting with him. But when the time of the death of a disbeliever approaches, he receives the evil news of Allah's torment and His Requital, whereupon nothing is more hateful to him than what is before him. Therefore, he hates the meeting with Allah, and Allah too, hates the meeting with him."

Hadith Commentary:
Good fortune is that, at the time of death, the longing to meet Allah prevails and there is no grief over leaving the world. May Allah grant every Muslim death in this state, ameen. The purpose of reciting the kalimah tayyibah at that time is also this: the pain that a believer experiences at the time of death ultimately results in eternal comfort.

From this hadith, it is understood that a believer desires to meet Allah Ta'ala, and Allah Ta'ala also desires to meet the believing servant. This is only possible when a person lives his life according to the Qur'an and Sunnah. A person who is without deeds does not have love for Allah Ta'ala; if he had love and the desire to meet, he would be a person of action. A person without deeds is distant from Allah Ta'ala, and Allah Ta'ala is also distant from the sinful and immoral. May Allah Ta'ala make us righteous, Ameen.
