رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states regarding this Hadith: The condition in which one dies is taken into account.

Allamah Abdur Rauf Munaawi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states concerning this Hadith: Imam Jalal ul-Din Suyuti رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه has deduced from this Hadith that on the Day of Judgement, the one who plays the flute will be resurrected with his flute and an alcoholic will be raised with his drink. Whereas a Mu’azzin will be raised while giving the Azaan.^[2]
