Hazrat Abu Barzah
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Man's feet will not move on the Day of
Resurrection before he is asked about his life, how did he consume it, his
knowledge, what did he do with it, his wealth, how did he earn it and how did he
dispose of it, and about his body, how did he wear it out.'' [At-Tirmidhi Hadith
# 2417].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah An-
1. This Hadith first of all highlights the importance and
value of this transitory life, every breath of which is invaluable. Not a moment
of it should, therefore, be wasted in the disobedience of Allah because one
shall also be made to account for it.
2. Man shall also be answerable for his knowledge. Here, we
find an inducement for acquiring religious knowledge because that alone is
beneficial for him. He should make use of his knowledge for winning the pleasure
of Allah. If he does not do that then he must think about the justification for
not doing so. He must also think how he would be facing Allah on the Day of
Resurrection.
3. The question in respect of wealth raised in this Hadith
clearly shows that one should earn wealth by legitimate means only and spend it
strictly in a lawful manner. If he takes to unfair means of income or squanders
it, he will be sinful and required to account for the violation of the Divine
injunctions.
4. One should protect his body from everything that is
unlawful and force himself to submit to the Divine injunctions. When he is asked
to account for neglecting them, it will be difficult for him to escape the
consequences of
accountability.
In short, this Hadith makes one conscious of the
accountability so that one keeps it all the time in view so that he will be
saved from humiliation on the Day of Resurrection. How nice would it really be
if one bears the accountability of the Day of Resurrection always in mind!
