٣۔١٠ فِيمَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ

nasai-kubra:1973Hannād b. al-Sarī > Abū Zubayd > Muṭarrif > ʿĀmir > Shurayḥ b. Hāniʾ > Abū Hurayrah

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)

“Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him.” It was said to him: “O 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 hates to meet him.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4264)
