Sahih al-Bukhari 749 (Book 10, Hadith 143) #723
Seeing Paradise and Hell in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) saw the display of Paradise and Hell on the wall of the mosque while leading prayer and was amazed by what he saw.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet led us in prayer and then went up to the pulpit and beckoned with both hands towards the Qibla of the mosque and then said, "When I started leading you in prayer, I saw the display of Paradise and Hell on the wall of the mosque (facing the Qibla). I never saw good and bad as I have seen today". He repeated the last statement thrice.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ صَلَّى لَنَا النَّبِيُّ ثُمَّ رَقَا الْمِنْبَرَ، فَأَشَارَ بِيَدَيْهِ قِبَلَ قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الآنَ مُنْذُ صَلَّيْتُ لَكُمُ الصَّلاَةَ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ مُمَثَّلَتَيْنِ فِي قِبْلَةِ هَذَا الْجِدَارِ، فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ ‏"‏ ثَلاَثًا‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Be mindful during prayers
EXPLANATIONS:
During prayer, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saw a display of both paradise and hell on the wall of the mosque facing Qibla. He was so surprised by what he saw that he repeated his statement thrice. This hadith teaches us to be mindful during our prayers as we can get a glimpse into our future depending on how we live our lives. We should strive to do good deeds so that we can be rewarded with paradise in afterlife. On the other hand, if we commit sins then it is possible that we will end up in hellfire after death. Therefore, this hadith serves as a reminder for us to stay away from bad deeds and focus on doing good instead.
