1067. Sa’d bin Hishām narrated that ‘Aīshah mentioned that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever loves to meet Allāh, then Allāh loves to meet him. And whoever dislikes meeting Allāh, then Allāh dislikes meeting him.” She said: “O Messenger of Allāh! All of us dislike death.” He said: “It is not like that. But when the believer is given the good news of Allāh’s mercy, His pleasure, and His Paradise, then he loves to meet Allāh and Allāh loves to meet him. Whereas when the disbeliever is given the news of Allāh’s punishment and His wrath, he dislikes meeting Allāh, and Allāh dislikes meeting him.” (Sahīh) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh.

١٠٦٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ . (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ ‌قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ ‌زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى ، عَنْ ‌سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ» اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ. قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كُلُّنَا نَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ! قَالَ: لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا بُشِّرَ بِرَحْمَةِ اللهِ وَرِضْوَانِهِ وَجَنَّتِهِ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ وَأَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا بُشِّرَ بِعَذَابِ اللهِ وَسَخَطِهِ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ وَكَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

It is proven from this narration that liking and disliking to meet Allāh ﷻ depends not only on the normal lifestyle, but also on the state of mind at the time of the last breath when good news of mercy of Allāh ﷻ or bad news of punishment is conveyed.
