Sahih al-Bukhari 6431 (Book 81, Hadith 20) #6180
Enjoying Rewards in the Hereafter

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Khabbab and his companions who have passed away, and how they did not enjoy the rewards of their deeds in this world, while those who are still alive have collected much wealth that can only be spent on earth.

Narrated Qais: I came to Khabbab while he was building a wall, and he (Khabbab) said, "Our companions who have left this world, did not enjoy anything of their reward therein, while we have collected after them, much wealth that we cannot spend but on earth (ie, on building).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا وَهْوَ يَبْنِي حَائِطًا لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا الَّذِينَ مَضَوْا لَمْ تَنْقُصْهُمُ الدُّنْيَا شَيْئًا، وَإِنَّا أَصَبْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ شَيْئًا، لاَ نَجِدُ لَهُ مَوْضِعًا إِلاَّ التُّرَابَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of enjoying rewards in the hereafter. Khabbab was building a wall when Qais came to him, and he said that their companions who have left this world did not enjoy anything of their reward therein. However, those who are still alive have collected much wealth that can only be spent on earth. This hadith teaches us to focus our efforts on doing good deeds for Allah's sake so we can reap its rewards in the hereafter instead of focusing solely on worldly gains. We should strive to do good deeds with sincerity and faith so we can receive Allah's blessings both here and in the hereafter.
