Sahih al-Bukhari 115 (Book 3, Hadith 57) #115
Preparing for the Hereafter

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of being mindful of Allah and His blessings, as well as the need to be prepared for the afterlife.

Narrated Um Salama: One night Allah's Messenger got up and said, "Subhan Allah! How many afflictions have been descended tonight and how many treasures have been disclosed! Go and wake the sleeping lady occupants of these dwellings (his wives) up (for prayers). A well-dressed (soul) in this world may be naked in the Hereafter".
حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ هِنْدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، وَعَمْرٍو، وَيَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ هِنْدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتِ اسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا أُنْزِلَ اللَّيْلَةَ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ وَمَاذَا فُتِحَ مِنَ الْخَزَائِنِ أَيْقِظُوا صَوَاحِبَاتِ الْحُجَرِ، فَرُبَّ كَاسِيَةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَارِيَةٍ فِي الآخِرَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Um Salama and it speaks about how one should be mindful of Allah's blessings and afflictions. It also emphasizes on being prepared for the afterlife. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that a person who may seem well-dressed in this world may be naked in the hereafter. This means that one should not become too attached to worldly possessions or status because they will not matter in the hereafter. Instead we should focus on doing good deeds and preparing ourselves spiritually for what lies ahead after death. We must remember that our ultimate goal is to please Allah so we must strive to do good deeds while we are alive so that when our time comes we can enter paradise with ease InshaAllah.
