Prepare for a day like this

On the authority of al-Bara ibn Azib (RAA) who said: "While we were with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) he suddenly looked towards a group of people and said: "For what reason have they gathered there?" It was said, "In order to dig a grave". So the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) became alarmed and started and he quickly went ahead of the Companions until he reached the grave, then he knelt upon it and I turned my face towards him order to see what he was doing. He (PBUH) cried until the earth became wet with his tears, then he turned to us and said, "O my brothers! Prepare for a day like this" (al Bukhari in at-Tarikh, Ibn Majah, Ahmad and others, hasan)
