Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith of the Shaykh: Live [in this world]...
Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler.في الدنيا كأنك غريب، أو عابر سبيل
Sahih al-Bukhari 6416
,

Answer:
This is the advice the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to Ibn 'Umar, and it is advice for the entire ummah (Muslim community). It means: do not rely on this world or feel at ease in it. You are like a stranger in a land that is not his; a stranger does not feel at ease in a foreign land. So, you are a stranger in this world. Yes.
