Hadith 8556

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ شُرَيْحُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ : بَيْنَمَا أَنَا فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذْ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " لَا يُحِبُّ رَجُلٌ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، إِلَّا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَلَا أَبْغَضَ رَجُلٌ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ ، إِلَّا أَبْغَضَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ " ، فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ لَئِنْ كَانَ مَا ذَكَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَقًّا ، لَقَدْ هَلَكْنَا ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّمَا الْهَالِكُ مَنْ هَلَكَ فِيمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ : قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " لَا يُحِبُّ رَجُلٌ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ ، إِلَّا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَلَا أَبْغَضَ رَجُلٌ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ ، إِلَّا أَبْغَضَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ " ، قَالَتْ : وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ، فَهَلْ تَدْرِي لِمَ ذَلِكَ ؟ إِذَا حَشْرَجَ الصَّدْرُ ، وَطَمَحَ الْبَصَرُ ، وَاقْشَعَرَّ الْجِلْدُ ، وَتَشَنَّجَتْ الْأَصَابِعُ ، فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ ، وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَبْغَضَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ .
Shuraih bin Hani' (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was in the Prophet's Mosque when Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever likes to meet Allah, Allah also likes to meet him, and whoever dislikes to meet Allah, Allah also dislikes to meet him. Hearing this, I went to Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: If what Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) has mentioned from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is correct, then we are doomed. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Only he is doomed who is doomed according to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). What is the matter? I mentioned to her the narration I had heard from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). She said: I bear witness that I also heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say this. Do you know why this is so? When hearts begin to tremble, eyes are dazzled, the skin of the body begins to shiver, and a convulsive state appears in the fingers (when the time of death approaches), at that time, whoever likes to meet Allah, Allah also likes to meet him, and whoever dislikes to meet Allah, Allah also dislikes to meet him.
