It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she said: When the Prophet (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."
She said: "O Prophet of Allah! But every one of us dislikes death?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It does not mean the (natural) dislike of death. Rather, when death comes to the believer, he is given the glad tidings of Allah's good pleasure and His Paradise, so nothing is dearer to him than this state that is before him; thus he loves to meet Allah and Allah loves to meet him. And when death comes to the disbeliever, he is warned of Allah's punishment and His wrath, so nothing is more hateful to him than this situation that is before him; thus he dislikes meeting Allah and Allah dislikes meeting him."
