The meaning of the Hadith reading 'There are two blessings which many people forfeit: health and spare time'
Q 2: Would you please explain the saying of the Messenger of Allah which is recorded in
Sahih
Al-Bukhari,
in the Book of "Al-Riqaq,"
There are two blessings which many people forfeit (their reward for failing to appreciate them): health and spare time.
May Allah reward you with the best.
A:
This Hadith means that a Muslim
should make the best use of his spare time and health by performing good deeds; otherwise they will lose these two great opportunities. (Part No. 26; Page No. 357) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
