2.Al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad narrated from ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn Bashīr, from one of his companions, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) saying
“I [once] said to him, ‘May Allah enhance you in righteousness! Whoever loves to meet Allah, does Allah also love to meet him? And whoever hates to meet Allah, does Allah also hate to meet him?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’ I saidBut by Allah, we surely dislike death!’ So he said, ‘It does not mean what you think. It only applies at the time of viewing [what awaits a person after death]. Verily when the believer sees what he loves [at the moment of his death], then there is nothing more beloved to him than proceeding [towards Allah], and Allah loves to meet him while he loves meeting Allah at that moment. And when he [who disbelieves] sees what he hates, then there is nothing more hateful to him than meeting Allah, the Almighty, and Allah [also] hates to meet him.’”
القاسم بن محمد عن عبد الصمد بن بشير عن بعض أصحابه عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
قلت له: أصلحك الله من أحب لقاء الله أحب الله لقائه؟ ومن أبغض لقاء الله أبغض الله لقائه؟ قال: نعم قلت فوالله انا لنكره الموت فقال: ليس ذاك حيث تذهب إنما ذلك (ذاك) عند المعاينة ان المؤمن إذا رأى ما يحب (عاين الموت) فليس شئ أحب إليه من أن (يقدم على الله) يتقدم والله يحب لقائه وهم يحب لقاء الله (حينئذ) وإذا رأى ما يكره فليس شئ أبغض إليه من لقاء الله عز وجل والله عز وجل يبغض لقائه (227) 221 - فضالة عن معاوية بن وهب عن يحيى بن سابور قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: في الميت تدمع عينه عند الموت فقال: ذاك (ذلك) عند معاينة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يرى (فيرى) ما يسره قال: ثم قال: إما ترى الرجل (إذا) يرى ما يسره (وما يجب) فتدمع عينيه ويضحك.
