أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ :" مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ، كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ ".
فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَوْ بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِهِ : إِنَّا لَنَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ.
قَالَ : " لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ بُشِّرَ بِرِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ وَكَرَامَتِهِ، فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا أَمَامَهُ، فَأَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ وَأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ بُشِّرَ بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَعُقُوبَتِهِ، فَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَكْرَهَ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا أَمَامَهُ، فَكَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ، وَكَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ "

Hajjaj bin Minhal told us, Hammam told us, on the authority of Qatada, on the authority of Anas, on the authority of Ubadah ibn al-Samit: that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, And he said: “Whoever loves meeting God, God will love meeting Him, and whoever hates meeting God, God will hate meeting him.”
Aisha or some of his wives said: We hate death.
He said: “Not that, but when death approaches a believer he is given good tidings of God’s approval and honor. There is nothing more beloved to him than what is in front of him, so he loves Meeting God, and God loves meeting Him, and when death approaches the disbeliever, he is given the good news of God’s punishment and punishment. There is nothing more hateful to him than what is before him. He hated meeting God, and God hated meeting him.”
