Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 624 — he heard a man narrating from the Mother
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، نَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْخُتَّلِيُّ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْمُؤَدِّبُ ، عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَرَ الْمُعَلِّمِ ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يُحَدِّثُ .
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ .
قَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ : فَقُلْتُ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ مِنْهَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ . فَرَحَلْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ ، وَقُلْتُ : نَحْنُ نَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ .
فَقَالَتْ : I " لَيْسَ ذَاكَ كَذَلِكَ ، إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ يَرَى الْمُؤْمِنُ مَا لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ فَيُحِبُّ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَالْكَافِرُ يُبْغِضُ الْمَوْتَ ، وَيُبْغِضُهُ اللهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ I " .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ إِلَّا عُتْبَةُ ، وَلَا عَنْ عُتْبَةَ إِلَّا أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : عَبَّادٌ .

It is narrated from Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) that he heard a man narrating from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she said: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah Almighty also loves to meet him, and whoever dislikes meeting Allah, Allah Almighty also dislikes meeting him."
Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked (that man): "Did you hear this from her yourself?" He said: "Yes."
Then I travelled to Madinah and mentioned this to the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and said: "But we dislike death."
She said: "The matter is not like that (as you think); rather, it refers to the time of death: when the believer sees what (reward) is (prepared) for him with Allah, he comes to love meeting Allah; and the disbeliever hates death, so Allah Almighty also, at that time, hates meeting him."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Bukayr (may Allah have mercy on him) except Utbah (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one from Utbah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abu Isma'il (may Allah have mercy on him), and Abbad (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
