SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 76: TO MAKE THE HEART TENDER (AR-RIQAQ)
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 514:
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:
The Prophet said, "Who-ever loves to meet Allah, Allah (too) loves to meet him and who-ever hates
to meet Allah, Allah (too) hates to meet him". 'Aisha, or some of the wives of the Prophet said, "But we
dislike death." He said: It is not like this, but it is meant that when the time of the death of a believer
approaches, he receives the good news of Allah's pleasure with him and His blessings upon him, and
so at that time nothing is dearer to him than what is in front of him. He therefore loves the meeting
with Allah, and Allah (too) loves the meeting with him. But when the time of the death of a disbeliev-
er approaches, he receives the evil news of Allah's torment and His Requital, whereupon nothing is
more hateful to him than what is before him. Therefore, he hates the meeting with Allah, and Allah
too, hates the meeting with him."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 515:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, "Whoever loves the meeting with Allah, Allah too, loves the meeting with him;
and whoever hates the meeting with Allah, Allah too, hates the meeting with him."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 516:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) When Allah's Apostle was in good health, he used to say, "No prophet's
soul is ever captured unless he is shown his place in Paradise and given the option (to die or
survive)." So when the death of the Prophet approached and his head was on my thigh, he became
unconscious for a while and then he came to his senses and fixed his eyes on the ceiling and said, "O
Allah (with) the highest companions." (See Qur'an 4:69). I said' "Hence he is not going to choose us."
And I came to know that it was the application of the narration which he (the Prophet) used to nar-
rate to us. And that was the last statement of the Prophet (before his death) i.e., "O Allah! With the
highest companions." (See Qur'an 4:69)
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 517:
Narrated 'Aisha:
There was a leather or wood container full of water in front of Allah's Apostle (at the time of his
death). He would put his hand into the water and rub his face with it, saying, "None has the right to
be worshipped but Allah! No doubt, death has its stupors." Then he raised his hand and started say-
ing, "(O Allah!) with the highest companions." (See Qur'an 4:69) (and kept on saying it) till he ex-
pired and his hand dropped."
