2417. Abū Barzah Al-Aslamī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The feet of the slave of Allāh shall not move [on the Day of Judgement] until he is asked about five things: About his life and what he did with it, about his knowledge and what he did with it, about his wealth and how he earned it and where he spent it on, and about his body and for what did he wear it out." (Da'if)
[He said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih. Sa'eed bin 'Abdullāh bin Juraij (a narrator in the chain) [is from Al-Baṣrah], and he is the freed slave of Abū Barzah Al-Aslamī, and Abū Barzah Al-Aslamī's name is Naḍlah bin 'Ubaid.

Commentary
Let each one of us do the soul-searching about his life, his youth, his method of earning his income and the manner of spending it, as well as about the knowledge that he accumulated and what use he made of it. He should ponder over what will happen to him when he shall stand before his Lord on the Day of Resurrection and be questioned about those things in the face of everybody. May Allāh include us among those fortunate souls who make adequate preparations in good time, before the coming of that Hour and spend their lives in such a manner that they emerge happy and successful from that phase of testing and reckoning!
