Meaning

English

‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Anyone loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and anyone dislikes to meet Allah, Allah dislikes to meet him." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, does this mean the aversion to death, for we all hate death?" He said: "It is not that, but when a believer is given (glad) tidings of the mercy of Allah, His Pleasure, and His Paradise, he loves to meet Allah, and Allah also loves to meet him.

When a disbeliever is given (bad) tidings of the punishment of Allah and His wrath that shall afflict him, he dislikes to meet Allah and Allah also dislikes to meet him."

Source textOriginal Arabic
عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «مَنْ أحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءهُ» فقلتُ: يا رسولَ اللهِ، أكَراهِيَةُ المَوتِ، فَكُلُّنَا نَكْرَهُ المَوتَ؟ قال: «لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ، ولكِنَّ المُؤْمِنَ إذَا بُشِّرَ بِرَحْمَةِ اللهِ وَرِضْوَانِهِ وَجَنَّتِهِ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ فَأَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءهُ، وإنَّ الكَافِرَ إذَا بُشِّرَ بِعَذابِ اللهِ وَسَخَطهِ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ وكَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءهُ».
