Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَالْمَوْتُ قَبْلَ لِقَاءِ اللَّهِ.
English Translation
Waki' narrated to us: Zakariyya narrated to us, from Amir, from Shurayh ibn Hani', from Aisha, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him" - and death comes before the meeting with Allah.
