Abu Darda on Judgment: Did you not act upon your knowledge?

Luqman reported: Abu Darda, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Verily, I fear from my Lord on the Day of Resurrection that I will be called in front of the heads of all creation, saying: O ‘Uwaymir! I will say: At your service, my Lord. He will say: Did you not act upon what you knew?”

عَنْ لُقْمَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ رضي الله عنه إِنَّمَا أَخْشَى مِنْ رَبِّي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْ يَدْعُوَنِي عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلائِقِ فَيَقُولُ لِي يَا عُوَيْمِرُ فَأَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ رَبِّي فَيَقُولُ لِي مَا عَمِلْتَ فِيمَا عَلِمْتَ
