2403. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "There is no one who dies but he shall regret." They said: "What shall he regret over O Messenger of Allāh?" He said: "If he was a good doer, he regrets that he did not do more, and if he was an evil doer, he regrets that he did not stop." (Da'if)

Commentary
Each person, whether virtuous or evil doer, shall have regrets, albeit for different reasons, in the Hereafter on seeing good rewards being given to the doers of good and punishment being handed down to the doers of evil. The virtuous shall grieve that they had not done more in the world to get more reward, while the evil doers shall regret that they had not abstained from doing evil in the world. It is for this reason that the day has been nicknamed the "Day of Grief".
