Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3155 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever loves
حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ ، قَالَ : نَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : أَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ I " . قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَمَا مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ ، فَقَالَ : I " 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 .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah also loves to meet him, and whoever dislikes meeting Allah, Allah also dislikes meeting him."
The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), every one of us dislikes death."
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is not what it means; rather, the reality is that when the bearer of glad tidings (the angel) comes to the believer from Allah, he comes to love meeting Allah, and Allah loves meeting him even more. And when there comes to the disbeliever that (scene) which he dislikes, he comes to dislike meeting Allah, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, dislikes meeting him far more."
