Hadith on Akhirah: Hereafter is the only life worth living

Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: We were in the trench with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while he was digging and we were carrying the dirt away. The Prophet passed by us and he said, “O Allah, there is no life worth living but the life of the Hereafter, so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirun.”

عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْخَنْدَقِ وَهُوَ يَحْفِرُ وَنَحْنُ نَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ وَيَمُرُّ بِنَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا عَيْشَ إِلَّا عَيْشُ الْآخِرَهْ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ
