Sahih al-Bukhari 4919 (Book 65, Hadith 439) #4699
Prostrating Before Allah on the Day of Judgment

SUMMARY: On the Day of Judgment, all believers will prostrate before Allah, but those who used to do it for show or reputation will not be able to.

Narrated Abu Sa'id: I heard the Prophet saying, "Our Lord Allah will lay bare His Shin, and then all the Believers, men and women, will prostrate themselves before Him, but there will remain those who used to prostrate in the world for showing off and for gaining good reputation. Such people will try to prostrate (on the Day of Judgment) but their back swill be as stiff as if it is one bone (a single vertebra).
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ يَكْشِفُ رَبُّنَا عَنْ سَاقِهِ فَيَسْجُدُ لَهُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَمُؤْمِنَةٍ، وَيَبْقَى مَنْ كَانَ يَسْجُدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا رِئَاءً وَسُمْعَةً، فَيَذْهَبُ لِيَسْجُدَ فَيَعُودُ ظَهْرُهُ طَبَقًا وَاحِدًا

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for sincerity in worship and actions
EXPLANATIONS:
On the Day of Judgement, all believers in Allah will prostrate themselves before Him in reverence and awe. However, there are some people who may have pretended to be pious and religious during their lifetime by performing acts such as prostration for show or reputation. These people will try to prostrate on that day but their backs will be stiff like a single vertebrae due to their lack of sincerity. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for sincerity in our worship and actions so that we can receive true reward from Allah on the Day of Judgement.
