[6826] 17 - (2685) It was narrated from Shurāih bin Hānī', that Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever loves to meet Allāh, Allāh loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allāh, Allāh hates to meet him.'" He (the sub narrator) said: "I went to 'Āishah and said: 'O Mother of the Believers, I heard Abū Hurairah narrate a Hadīth from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and if that is the case then we are doomed.' She said: 'The one who is doomed is the one who is doomed according to the words of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. Why do you say that?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever loves to meet Allāh, Allāh loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allāh, Allāh hates to meet him," but there is no one among us who does not hate death.' She said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did say that, but it is not what you think. Rather, when the eyes grow dim, the chest rattles, the skin shrinks and the fingers convulse, it is at that point whoever loves to meet Allâh, Allâh loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allâh, Allâh hates to meet him.”

17 - (2685) حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَشْعَثِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْثَرٌ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ»، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَذْكُرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا إِنْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ، فَقَدْ هَلَكْنَا، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ الْهَالِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ»، وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ، فَقَالَتْ: قَدْ قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَيْسَ بِالَّذِي تَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا شَخَصَ الْبَصَرُ، وَحَشْرَجَ الصَّدْرُ، وَاقْشَعَرَّ الْجِلْدُ، وَتَشَنَّجَتِ الْأَصَابِعُ، فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ، كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ
