Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him." (One of the narrators) Shuraih said: 'I went to Aishan and said: O mother of the believers! I heard Abu Hurairah narrate from the Messenger of Allah a Hadith which, if that is the case, we are all doomed. She said: 'What is that?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him. But there is no one among us who does not hate death.' She said: 'The Messenger of Allah did say that, but it is not what you think. When the eyes begin to stare, the death rattle sounds in the chest and the flesh shiver, at that point, whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him."'  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَذْكُرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا إِنْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكْنَا قَالَتْ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَتْ قَدْ قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَيْسَ بِالَّذِي تَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا طَمَحَ الْبَصَرُ وَحَشْرَجَ الصَّدْرُ وَاقْشَعَرَّ الْجِلْدُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "No man loves to meet Allah except that Allah loves to meet him, and no man hates to meet Allah except that Allah hates to meet him." So, I went to Aisha and said, "If what Abu Huraira reported from the Prophet ﷺ is true, then we are doomed." She replied, "The doomed ones are those who are doomed by what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. What is that?" I asked. She said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'No man loves to meet Allah except that Allah loves to meet him, and no man hates to meet Allah except that Allah hates to meet him.'" She then said, "And I bear witness that I heard him saying this. Do you know why? It is when the heart becomes restless, the sight becomes focused, the skin crawls, and the fingers twitch. At that moment, whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺيَقُولُ لَا يُحِبُّ رَجُلٌ لِقَاءَ اللهِ إِلَّا أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَلَا أَبْغَضَ رَجُلٌ لِقَاءَ اللهِ إِلَّا أَبْغَضَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَئِنْ كَانَ مَا ذَكَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَقًّا لَقَدْ هَلَكْنَا فَقَالَتْ إِنَّمَا الْهَالِكُ مَنْ هَلَكَ فِيمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يُحِبُّ رَجُلٌ لِقَاءَ اللهِ إِلَّا أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَلَا يَبْغَضُ رَجُلٌ لِقَاءَ اللهِ إِلَّا أَبْغَضَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ وَهَلْ تَدْرِي لِمَ ذَلِكَ؟ إِذَا حَشْرَجَ الصَّدْرُ وَطَمَحَ الْبَصَرُ وَاقْشَعَرَّ الْجِلْدُ وَتَشَنَّجَتِ الْأَصَابِعُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَبْغَضَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ  

He who loves meeting Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah abhors to meet him. I (Shuraih b. Hani, one of the narrators) came to A'isha and said to her: Mother of the faithful, I heard Abu Huraira narrate from Messenger of Allah ﷺ which, if it is actually so, is a destruction to us. Thereupon she said: Those are in fact ruined who are ruined at the words of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. What are (the words which in your opinion would cause your destruction)? He said that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had stated: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah too loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah too abhors to meet him, and there is none amongst us who dons not hate death. Thereupon she said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ has in fact stated this, but it does not mean what you construe, but it implies (the time) when one loses the lustre of the eye, and there is rattling in the throat, shudder in the body and convulsion in fingers (at the time of death). (It is about this time) that it has been said: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah would love to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah would abhor to meet him (Using translation from Muslim 2685a)
