Sahih al-Bukhari 6557 (Book 81, Hadith 146) #6306
The Price of Disobedience

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that on the Day of Judgement, Allah will ask the person with the least punishment in Hell if they would have given up worshipping other than Him if they had all the wealth in the world.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "Allah will say to the person who will have the minimum punishment in the Fire on the Day of Resurrection, 'If you had things equal to whatever is on the earth, would you ransom yourself (from the punishment) with it?' He will reply, Yes. Allah will say, 'I asked you a much easier thing than this while you were in the backbone of Adam, that is, not to worship others besides Me, but you refused and insisted to worship others besides Me"'.
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لأَهْوَنِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَوْ أَنَّ لَكَ مَا فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ أَكُنْتَ تَفْتَدِي بِهِ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ‏.‏ فَيَقُولُ أَرَدْتُ مِنْكَ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَنْتَ فِي صُلْبِ آدَمَ أَنْ لاَ تُشْرِكَ بِي شَيْئًا فَأَبَيْتَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how Allah will ask a person who is being punished in Hell on Judgement Day if they would have given up worshipping other than Him if they had all the wealth in the world. It is teaching us that even though we may think money and material possessions are important, nothing can compare to our relationship with God and following His commands. We should not be so attached to worldly things that we forget our duty to worship only Him. If we do not obey His commands, then there will be consequences for us on Judgement Day.
