عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الأَسْلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «لَا تَزُولُ قَدَمَا عَبْدٍ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُسْأَلَ عَنْ عُمُرِهِ: فِيمَ أَفْنَاهُ؟ وَعَنْ عِلْمِهِ: فِيمَ فَعَلَ؟ وَعَنْ مَالِه: مِنْ أَيْنَ اكْتَسَبَهُ؟ وَفِيمَ أَنْفَقَهُ؟ وَعَنْ جِسْمِهِ: فِيمَ أَبْلَاهُ؟».
Abu Barzah al-Aslamī narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
1. On the Day of Judgement, no one’s feet will move until one has been asked
2. about his life: how he lived through it?
3. About his knowledge: what did he do with it?
4. About his wealth: how he earned it and how he spent it?
5. About his body: how he used it?
The Prophet (peace be upon him) tells us that every human being will be questioned about four matters: their life, knowledge, wealth and body. Everyone needs to be ready with answers to these questions, by using these in ways with which God is pleased.
