Explanation of the Hadith: "Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler"

Question:
The questioner: Shaykh, regarding the hadith, "Live in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler," I hope you will explain this hadith and address it.

Answer:
The Shaykh: This was said by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) A stranger does not feel at ease in a town; rather, he is on the alert for travel and preparation. Or a traveler is the son of the road who passes through a town while on his way; he does not stay in the town, but rather passes through it or sits in it for a while, but he does not build or settle in residence. This is how the Muslim is in this world: he is as if he were a stranger or a traveler. Yes.
