The soundest of what has been narrated concerning this is the hadith in the Two Sahihs: "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and whoever dislikes to meet Allah, Allah dislikes to meet him."
The meaning is that when a believer is on their deathbed, they are given glad tidings of Allah's pleasure and honor, so they love to meet Allah. And when a disbeliever is on their deathbed, they are given tidings of Allah's punishment and chastisement, so they dislike to meet Allah.
