Question:
Abu Salih asks: What is the explanation of the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Mishkat al-Masabih 22Muttafaqun 'alayh (Zubair `Aliza'i)?
Answer:
Yes, this contains the prohibition of cursing time, because time is a creation of Allah, and it is in it that He (Glorified and Exalted is He) causes to pass what He wills. So if one curses time, his curse is directed toward Allah (Mighty and Majestic), because Allah is the One who acts in time and causes to happen in it what He wills. Time is merely a period and a moment; it has no intervention in what happens in it. Yes.
