باب مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ:Chapter: Whoever Loves To Meet Allah, Allah Loves To Meet Him, And Whoever Hates To Meet Allah, Allah Hates To Meet Him
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرُّزِّيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْهُجَيْمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ " ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، أَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ فَكُلُّنَا نَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ ، فَقَالَ : " لَيْسَ كَذَلِكِ ، وَلَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا بُشِّرَ بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانِهِ وَجَنَّتِهِ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ ، فَأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا بُشِّرَ بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَسَخَطِهِ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ وَكَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ " ،
A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah abhors to meet him. I ('A'isha) said: Allah's Apostle, so far as the feeling of aversion against death is concerned, we all have this feeling. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: It is not that (which you construe), but (this) that when a believer (at the time of death) is given the glad tidings of the mercy of Allah, His Pleasure, and of Paradise, he loves to meet Allah, and Allah also loves to meet him, and when an unbeliever is given the news of the torment at the Hand of Allah, and Hardship to be imposed by Him, he dislikes to meet Allah and Allah also abhors to meet him.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1838. Commentary: Although death is a painful thing, for the believer, the longing for the vision and meeting with Allah, and the glad tidings of forgiveness and mercy, overcome the severity of death. For the disbeliever, in addition to the agony of death, the thought of punishment and torment becomes extremely terrifying; therefore, even at the time of death, he does not wish to die.

In Sunan an-Nasa'i, Book of Funerals, Chapter 10, Hadith number 1838, it is mentioned:
Umm al-Mu'minin Aisha (radi Allahu anha) explained the meaning of this hadith as referring to the time of death, when eyesight is taken away, the agony of death (sakrat al-mawt) prevails, and the hair stands on end. At that moment, whoever is given the glad tidings of Allah's mercy and forgiveness, if he desires to meet Allah, then Allah also desires to meet him. And whoever is warned of Allah's punishment, he dislikes meeting Allah, so Allah also dislikes meeting him. That is, the believer feels happiness in meeting Allah, while the disbeliever is overcome with anxiety and fear.
