Whoever curses Time has wronged Allah
Allah the Almighty said:
“And they say: There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live and nothing destroys us except Ad-Dahr (the time). And they have no knowledge of it, they only conjecture.” (45: 24)
Narrated Abu Hurairah (R.A.) that the Prophet (SAW) said:
“Allah said, ‘The son of Adam wrongs me for he curses Ad-Dahr (the time); though I am Ad-Dahr (the time), in My Hands are all things, and I cause the revolution of day and night.”
(Al-Bukhari)
In another version wherein it is said:
“Do not abuse Ad-Dahar (the time) ; for Allah is Ad-Dahar.”
Important issues of the Chapter
1) Cursing Ad-Dahar (the time) is forbidden.
2) Abusing Ad-Dahar (the time) is in fact to wrong Allah.
3) Contemplation of the statement of the Prophet (SAW) “verily Allah is Ad-Dahar”.
4) Something may be an abuse even if such was not the heartfelt intention (of the abuser).
