Feeling Shaken by This Hadith-Are We Headed for Torment?

Assalamu alaikum, I came across a hadith that really unsettled me, and I’m struggling to understand its wisdom. The Prophet said that a time will come when nations will call each other to attack us, just like people invite others to share a meal. When asked if that’s because we’ll be few, he said no, we’ll be many, but we’ll be like scum carried by a flood. Allah will remove the awe our enemies have for us and cast wahn into our hearts. When asked what wahn is, he explained it’s loving this dunya and hating death. (Sunan Abi Dawud 4297, also authenticated by scholars). Does this mean we’re doomed to be punished? Jazakum Allahu khairan for any insight.

Every fitna in our time confirms this. We love dunya so much we can't even sacrifice a little for the ummah. Ya Allah forgive us.

I swear this is so real. All these attacks on Muslim lands and we're too busy with materialism to even care. We need to wake up.

Bro this hadith always hits hard. We see it happening right now, weak states and love for dunya everywhere. May Allah protect us.

Don't despair, akhi. The Prophet also gave us the cure: return to Quran and sunnah. It's not hopeless unless we give up trying.

Wa alaikum assalam. It's not about being doomed, it's a warning. If we fix our connection with Allah and stop chasing dunya, the situation changes.

The 'scum' part always humbles me. Millions of Muslims but no real strength because we're divided and chasing comforts.
