2306. Abū Hurairah, may Allāh be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Race to do works against seven. Are you waiting but for overwhelming poverty, or distracting richness, or debilitating illness, or babling senility, or sudden death, or the Dajjāl, so that hidden evil is what is awaited, or the Hour? The Hour is more calamitous and more bitter.” (Da‘if)
[He said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb Ḥasan, we do not know of it as a narration of Al-A‘raj from Abū
Hurairah, except through the narration of Muḥriz bin Hārūn. Ma'mar reported this Hadīth from someone who heard it from Sa'eed Al-Maqbūrī, from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ, and it is similar to this.

Commentary
Horrors and pains of the Day of Reckoning will be unspeakable. We, in this world, cannot even imagine their exact nature or intensity. The Plain of Resurrection will not be the place of correcting one's failures and misdeeds. It will rather be the place of requital and recompense. It, therefore, behooves all of us not to let go or waste the opportunity bestowed upon us, but make as good a use of the days of our health and the span of our lives as we can.
