وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حَاتِمِ بْنِ أَبِي صَغِيرَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً غُرْلاً " . قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ النِّسَاءُ وَالرِّجَالُ جَمِيعًا يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ قَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَا عَائِشَةُ الأَمْرُ أَشَدُّ مِنْ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ " .
A'isha Narrated from:
A'isha reported that she heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The people would be assembled on the Day of Resurrection barefooted, naked and uncircumcised. I said: Allah's Messenger, will the male and the female be together on the Day and would they be looking at one another? Upon this Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: 'A'isha, the matter would be too serious for them to look to one another.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2859a
This Hadith about the Day of Resurrection barefoot and naked shows the seriousness of that gathering. 'A'isha heard the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) say that people will be assembled on the Day of Resurrection barefooted, naked, and uncircumcised. She asked whether men and women would be together and looking at one another. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) answered that the matter would be too serious for them to look at one another. The key lesson is the weight of that Day. Ordinary concerns and embarrassment will be overtaken by the fear and seriousness of standing for the final gathering. The Hadith answers a natural question with a clear reminder: the Day will be greater than normal human attention.
What we learn from this hadith

- The gathering will be too serious for people to focus on each other.
- The Hadith answers a real question asked by 'A'isha.
