"منْ أحبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، ومنْ كَرِه لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِه اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، قَالُوا: يا رسُولَ اللهِ كُلُّنَا يَكْرهُ الْمَوْتَ، قَال لَيس ذَلِك كَرَاهيةَ الْموْتِ؛ ولَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا حُضِرَ جاءَ الْبَشِيرُ مِنَ الله بمَا هُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَيهِ. (فلَيس شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيهِ) مِنْ أَنْ يكُونَ قَدْ لَقِى اللهَ، فَأَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، فَأَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وإِنَّ الْفَاجِرَ إِذَا حُضِر جَاءَهُ ما هُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَيهِ مِنَ الشرِّ فَكَره لِقَاءَ اللهِ فَكَرِه اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ".

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who-ever loves to meet Allah, Allah (too) loves to meet him and who-ever hates to meet Allah, Allah (too) hates to meet him".

ʿAisha, or some of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ said, "But we dislike death." He said: It is not like this, but it is meant that when the time of the death of a believer approaches, he receives the good news of Allah's pleasure with him and His blessings upon him, and so at that time nothing is dearer to him than what is in front of him. He therefore loves the meeting with Allah, and Allah (too) loves the meeting with him. But when the time of the death of a disbeliever approaches, he receives the evil news of Allah's torment and His Requital, whereupon nothing is more hateful to him than what is before him. Therefore, he hates the meeting with Allah, and Allah too, hates the meeting with him."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ، أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ، كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ۔»

قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَوْ بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِهِ: إِنَّا لَنَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ ذَاكَ، وَلَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ، بُشِّرَ بِرِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ وَكَرَامَتِهِ، فَلَيْسَ شَىْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا أَمَامَهُ، فَأَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ وَأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ۔ وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا حُضِرَ بُشِّرَ بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَعُقُوبَتِهِ، فَلَيْسَ شَىْءٌ أَكْرَهَ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا أَمَامَهُ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ وَكَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ۔»

He who loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah abhors to meet him. I ('A'isha) said: Allah's Apostle, so far as the feeling of aversion against death is concerned, we all have this feeling. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: It is not that (which you construe), but (this) that when a believer (at the time of death) is given the glad tidings of the mercy of Allah, His Pleasure, and of Paradise, he loves to meet Allah, and Allah also loves to meet him, and when an unbeliever is given the news of the torment at the Hand of Allah, and Hardship to be imposed by Him, he dislikes to meet Allah and Allah also abhors to meet him.

"Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah, hates to meet him." Amr (one of the narrators) added in his narration: "t was said: 'O Messenger of Allah mean hating death? Fore all of us hate death.' He said; 'That is when he is dying; 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. But if he is given the tidings of the punishment of Allah, he hates to meet Allah and Allah hates to meet him."'

Aishah mentioned that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, then Allah loves to meet him. And whoever dislikes meeting Allah, then Allah dislikes meeting him." She said: "O Messenger of Allah! All of us dislike death." He said: "It is not like that. But when the believer is given the good news of Allah's mercy, His pleasure, and His Paradise, then he loves to meet Allah and Allah loves to meet him. Whereas when the disbeliever is given the news of Allah's punishment and His wrath, he dislikes meeting Allah, and Allah dislikes meeting him."

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever dislikes meeting Allah, Allah dislikes meeting him." We asked, "O Messenger of Allah, we all dislike death." He said, "That is not disliking death, but when a believer is near death, the bearer of glad tidings (i.e., angels) comes to him from Allah with what will happen to him. Nothing is dearer to him than meeting Allah, so Allah loves to meet him. As for a wicked or disbelieving person, when he is near death, the bearer of evil tidings comes to him with what will happen to him. He does not like to meet Allah and Allah does not like to meet him."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٧٥٨عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ» قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُلُّنَا نَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ قَالَ «لَيْسَ ذَاكَ كَرَاهِيَةَ الْمَوْتِ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا حَضَرَ جَاءَهُ الْبَشِيرُ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ بِمَا هُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَيْهِ فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ لَقِيَ اللهَ ﷻ فَأَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَإِنَّ الْفَاجِرَ أَوِ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا حَضَرَ جَاءَهُ بِمَا هُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَوْ مَا يَلْقَى مِنَ الشَّرِّ فَكَرِهَ لِقَاءََََ اللهِ وَكَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ»

"مَنْ أَحبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، ومنْ كَرِه لِقَاءَ اللهِ، كَرِه اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، قَالتْ عائِشَةُ: إِنَّا لَنَكْرهُ الْموْتَ، قَال: لَيس ذَلِكَ؛ ولَكِنَّ الْمُؤمن إِذَا حضَرهُ الْموْتُ بُشِّر بِرِضوانِ الله وكَرامتِهِ، فلَيس شَيْءٌ أَحبَ إِلَيهِ مِمَّا أَمامهُ، فَأَحبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، وأَحبَّ اللهُ لقاءَهُ، وأَمَا الْكَافِرُ إِذَا حَضَرهُ الْموْتُ بُشِّر بعذَابِ اللهِ وعقوبته، فليس شيء أكره إليه مما أَمامه، فكره لقاء الله، وكَرِه الله لِقَاءَهُ".

"مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِه لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، قَالُوا: إِنَّا نَكْرَهُ الْموْتَ، قَال: لَيسَ ذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُ إِذَا حُضِرَ، فَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِن الْمُقَرَّبين فَروحٌ وَرَيحانٌ وجنَّةُ نَعيمٍ، فَإِذَا بُشِّر بِذَلِكَ أَحبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، واللهُ - ﷻ - لِلِقَائِهِ أَحَبُّ، وَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبين الضَّالِّين، فَنزُلٌ مِن حَمِيمٍ، فَإِذَا بُشِّر بِذَلِكَ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، واللهُ لِلِقائِهِ أَكْرهُ".
