حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَی عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَی عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَائَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَائَهُ وَمَنْ کَرِهَ لِقَائَ اللَّهِ کَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَائَهُ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ کَرَاهِيَةُ لِقَائِ اللَّهِ فِي کَرَاهِيَةِ لِقَائِ الْمَوْتِ فَکُلُّنَا يَکْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا ذَاکَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ إِذَا بُشِّرَ بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَمَغْفِرَتِهِ أَحَبَّ لِقَائَ اللَّهِ فَأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَائَهُ وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ کَرِهَ لِقَائَ اللَّهِ وَکَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَائَهُ

ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4264

It was narrated from Aishah that the Messenger of Allah p.b.u.h said: "Whoever Ioves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah ?Allah hates to meet him. It was said to him: 0 Messenger of Allah, does hating to meet Allah mean hating to meet death? For all of us hate death. He Said: "No. Rather that is only at the moment of death. But if he is given the glad tidings of the mercy and forgiveness of Allah, he loves to meet Allah and Allah loves to meet him; and if he is given the tidings of the punishment of Allah, he hates to meet Allah and Allah ha tes to meet him." (Sahih)
