قالَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ( لاَ تَزُولُ قَدَمَا عَبْدٍ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ حَتّى يُسْأَلَ عن أربع: عَنْ عُمْرِهِ فِيما أَفْنَاهُ، وعن جسده فيما أبلاه، وَعن عِلْمِهِ ماذا عمل به، وعن مَالِهِ مِنْ أَيْنَ أخذه وَفيمَا أَنْفَقَهُ )رواه الترمذي

This Hadith is clear in telling us that on the Day of Judgement one will not be dismissed from the stage of judgement unless one is questioned about four matters.

The first question is how one had spent his life? One will be questioned whether or not one had fulfilled all that Allah has ordered and avoided all that Allah has forbidden since the age of accountability. If all duties were completed in full one will be saved from punishment; In contrast, if these same duties were incomplete one deserves to be punished.

The second question relates to what one had worn out his body in? If one had worn out his body in performing the obligations, then one will be among the winners who will be saved from torture; but if one had wasted his body in sin, then one will be among the losers on the day.

The third question is regarding whether or not one had attained the knowledge of the religion. If the person had attained the obligatory knowledge he will be rewarded, but if he had neglected to acquire it, he will be among the losers. Also among the losers is the person who acquired the knowledge but failed to apply it.

The fourth question is regarding how one obtained his money and assets how they were used. Meaning, if the person gained his money and assets on earth in lawful ways, he is not guilty, providing that he did not use them unlawfully.
