Musnad Abi Ya'la 3877 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever loves
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو وَهْبٍ : وَلَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا ذَكَرَهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ ، أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ ، كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، كُلُّنَا يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ ، قَالَ : لَيْسَ ذَاكَ بِكَرَاهِيَةِ الْمَوْتِ ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا جَاءَهُ الْبَشِيرُ مِنَ اللهِ بِمَا هُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَيْهِ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ ، وَأَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ - أَوِ : الْفَاجِرَ - إِذَا حُضِرَ جَاءَهُ مَا هُوَ لَاقٍ ، وَكَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ ، وَكَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and whoever dislikes meeting Allah, Allah dislikes meeting him." The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! All of us dislike death." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That does not mean the (natural) dislike of death. Rather, the real matter is that when the angel bringing the glad tidings from Allah of the everlasting blessings to which he is moving comes to the believer, he comes to love meeting Allah, and Allah loves meeting him. Whereas when the time of death comes to the disbeliever, or the wicked person, and the evil end that he is about to meet is presented before him, he dislikes meeting Allah, and Allah dislikes meeting him." Abu Wahb said: To the best of my knowledge, Humayd (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned this narration from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
