Hadith Qudsi 15
He who loves to meet Allah (by way of death
like martyrs) Allah too loves to meet him
15) Narrated Abu Huraira : Allah's Messenger said that Allah the Exalted observed: If My slave loves meeting Me, I too love meeting him. If he dislikes to meet Me, I too hate to meet him.
(This Hadith is sound and reported by Bukhari and
Nasa'i).
-----------------------------
This Hadith shows that a Muslim when he thinks of death he hopes to enter Paradise. So he likes death more or less. But disbelievers fear death because they do not have belief nor hope for Paradise. The believer who likes Paradise also likes death to meet Allah result, Allah likes meeting him, too.
