عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم نِعْمَتَانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاس الصِّحَّةُ وَالْفَرَاغُ۔
مشکاۃ المصابیح (حدیث 5155)It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنهما that he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “There are two blessings in which many people are deceived: good health and free time.”
Sayyiduna Abu Darda رضي الله عنه said: یَا اِبْنَ آدَمَ اِنَّمَا اَنْتَ اَیَّامٌ فَکُلَّمَا ذَھَبَ یَوْمٌ ذَھَبَ بَعْضُکَ This means: O human being! You are merely a collection of days. Whenever a day passes, understand that a part of your life has also passed. Once someone requested Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz رحمۃ اللہ علیہ, saying: "O Commander of the Faithful, you can do this work tomorrow." To which he replied: "I can barely finish the work of one day in a day. If I leave today's work for tomorrow, then how will I be able to do two days' work in one day?"
