Question:
Sahih al-Bukhari 1126, what is the intended meaning?
Answer:
It means: let them strive in the obedience of Allah and prayer in the last part of the night; for this is among the causes of well-being and safety. It refers to his wives (peace and blessings be upon him), encouraging them to stand in night prayer and perform the late-night voluntary prayer in the last part of the night. And Allah is the One to be asked for help.
And in this is his saying:Sahih al-Bukhari 3599, in it is that the worldly life came after him (peace and blessings be upon him); the trials came, the treasuries came, wealth came, and the trials came with the wealth. Allah expanded for His Ummah (the Muslim community) wealth and great good, and with it came many trials. For this reason, some of the Companions said: "Or does good bring evil?" He said: Then he said after that: Sunan Ibn Majah 3997Sahih (Darussalam), and there is no power and no strength except with Allah.

And in this is his saying:
What great (how many) treasures have been sent down, and what great (how many ) afflictions have been sent down!
ماذا أنزل من الخزائن وماذا أنزل من الفتنOr is it good? I only fear for you what I fear for you, which is what will be opened to you of the adornment of this world
أو خير هو؟ إنما أخشى ما أخشى عليكم ما يفتح عليكم من زهرة الدنياI fear that you will enjoy ease and plenty like those who came before you, and that you will compete with one another as they did, and you will be destroyed as they were.
إني أخشى أن تبسط لكم كما بسطت على من كان قبلكم فتنافسوها كما تنافسوها فتهلككم كما أهلكتهم.......
And from this is the hadith of Abu Sa'id, narrated by Muslim:
The world is sweet and green (alluring) and verily Allah is going to install you as vicegerent in it in order to see how you act. So avoid the allurement of women: verily, the first trial for the people of Isra'il was caused by women.
إن الدنيا حلوة خضرة، وإن الله مستخلفكم فيها فينظر كيف تعملون، فاتقوا الدنيا، واتقوا النساء، فإن أول فتنة بني إسرائيل كانت في النساء
