Sahih Muslim 855a (Book 7, Hadith 28) #9125
The Last Shall Be First

SUMMARY: On the Day of Resurrection, those who came after other nations will be the first to be judged.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: We who are the last shall be the first on the Day of Resurrection, except that every Ummah was given the Book before us and we were given it after them. It was this day which Allah prescribed for us and guided us to it and the people came after us with regard to it, the Jews observing the next day and the Christians the day following that.
وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ نَحْنُ الآخِرُونَ وَنَحْنُ السَّابِقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَيْدَ أَنَّ كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ أُوتِيَتِ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا وَأُوتِينَاهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ ثُمَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا هَدَانَا اللَّهُ لَهُ فَالنَّاسُ لَنَا فِيهِ تَبَعٌ الْيَهُودُ غَدًا وَالنَّصَارَى بَعْدَ غَدٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will judge all people according to their deeds. It is said that those who were last in terms of coming after other nations will be the first to be judged on this day. This means that even though some people may have come later than others, they still have a chance at being rewarded for their good deeds and faithfulness. The hadith also mentions that Jews observe one day and Christians another day; this could mean that each nation has its own set of beliefs and practices which are respected by Allah on the Day of Judgment. Ultimately, it is important for us to remember that we should strive to do good deeds in order to receive Allah's mercy on this day.
