بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم

From the commentary on the Book of Tawheed by Shaykhul-Islaam Muhammad bin Abdil-Wahhaab may Allaah have mercy on him,107-8th, Lesson

By our Shaykh, the ‘Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu ‘Abdirrahmān Yahya bin ‘Ali Al-Hajūri – may Allāh preserve him – on the 30th, Shawwaal, 1444H

Chapter: Whoever curses the time has harmed Allaah

And His statement: 

(وَقَالُوا۟ مَا هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَآ إِلَّا ٱلدَّهْرُۚ وَمَا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۖ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ) 

And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming."

[Al-Jashiyah: 24]

And in the two Saheehs from Abi Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ he said: “Allaah said: “Ibn Aadam harms me, he curses the time, while I am the time, I change the night and the day.”

And in a narration: “Don’t curse the time, for indeed Allaah is the time.”

In it are Masaa’il (topics):

The First: The prohibition of cursing the time.

The Second: Calling it as ‘harming Allaah’.

The Third: Pondering over His statement: “For indeed Allaah is the time.”

The Fourth: That he could be cursing whilst he doesn’t intend it with his heart.
