حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضى الله عنهما

قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نِعْمَتَانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، الصِّحَّةُ وَالْفَرَاغُ» قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “There are two blessings that many people are deceived into losing: health and free time.”

ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ এমন দু’টি নিয়ামত আছে, যে দু’টোতে অধিকাংশ মানুষ ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত। তা হচ্ছে, সুস্থতা আর অবসর। ‘আব্বাস আম্বরী (রহ.) .....সা‘ঈদ ইবনু আবূ হিন্দ (রহ.) থেকে ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) সূত্রে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে এ রকমই হাদীস বর্ণনা করেছেন।

ہم سے مکی بن ابراہیم نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم کو عبداللہ بن سعید نے خبر دی، وہ ابوہند کے صاحب زادے ہیں، انہیں ان کے والد نے اور ان سے عبداللہ بن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”دو نعمتیں ایسی ہیں کہ اکثر لوگ ان کی قدر نہیں کرتے، صحت اور فراغت۔“ عباس عنبری نے بیان کیا کہ ہم سے صفوان بن عیسیٰ نے بیان کیا، ان سے عبداللہ بن ابی ہند نے، ان سے ان کے والد نے کہ میں نے عبداللہ بن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما سے سنا، انہوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے اسی حدیث کی طرح۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Makki bin Ibrahim] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Sa'id] yaitu Ibnu Abu Hind dari [Ayahnya] dari [Ibnu Abbas] radliallahu 'anhuma dia berkata; Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Dua kenikmatan yang sering dilupakan oleh kebanyakan manusia adalah kesehatan dan waktu luang."

['Abbas Al 'Anbari] mengatakan; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Shufwan bin Isa] dari [Abdullah bin Sa'id bin Abu Hind] dari [Ayahnya] saya mendengar [Ibnu Abbas] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam seperti hadits di atas

İbn Abbas r.a.'ın anlattığına göre Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Çoğu insanın farkına varamadığı iki nimet vardır ki, onlar sağlık ve boş vakittir

Sahih al-Bukhari 6412, Book 81, To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq), Hadith 1. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed about two great blessings that Allah bestows upon man, in which many people suffer loss because they use them inappropriately. When a person is blessed with both health and free time but is overcome by laziness in worship, he is among the losers, and this is the case with most people.

However, if a person uses his free time and health in obeying Allah, he is the winner, for this world is the cultivation ground for the Hereafter, and in it lies the trade whose profit will be realized in the Hereafter. Free time is followed by preoccupation, and health is followed by sickness; and if nothing else except old age, it would suffice as a reminder.

What it teaches

  • The person who is held accountable for religious duties is likened to a merchant, and health and free time are compared to capital; whoever makes good use of his capital will attain success and profit, while whoever wastes it will incur loss and regret.
  • Ibn al-Khāzin said: A blessing is something a person enjoys and finds pleasure in, and 'ghabn' (deception) refers to buying something for much more than its worth or selling it for less than its actual value. So, whoever has a healthy body and is free from burdensome tasks but does not strive for the betterment of his Hereafter is like someone deceived in a sale.
  • Keenness on benefitting from health and free time to draw closer to Allah Almighty and perform good deeds before they are lost.
  • Expressing gratitude to Allah for His blessings is by utilizing them in obeying Allah Almighty.
  • Al-Qādi and Abu Bakr ibn al-‘Arabi said: There is a difference of opinion regarding the first blessing that Allah bestows upon the slave. Some say it is faith, others say it is life, and some say it is health. The first opinion is more correct, as it is an absolute blessing, whereas life and health are worldly blessings. They are only considered true blessings if accompanied by faith, and here many people are deceived regarding these blessings, i.e., their profit is lost or diminished. Whoever indulges in his evil-commanding soul that seeks only comfort, neglecting the observance of boundaries and steadfastness in obedience, is deceived. Likewise, if a person has free time, he is more accountable than someone who is busy, as the busy person might have an excuse, but the one with free time has no excuse and is informed beyond the excuse of ignorance.
