The Ruling on Cursing Time

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. May Allah bless you. This person says, may Allah protect you, regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he says:
God said, “The son of Adam injures me by abusing timeالله تعالى يؤذيني ابن آدم يسب الدهر
Mishkat al-Masabih 22Muttafaqun 'alayh (Zubair `Aliza'i)
So what is the ruling on cursing time?

Answer:
It is not permissible to curse time, because the qudsi hadith, as the questioner mentioned, says that Allah
The son of Adam displeases Me by abusing Dahr (time), whereas I am Dahrيؤذيني ابن آدم يسب الدهر وأنا الدهر
Sahih Muslim 2246b
and He turns the night and the day. So if one curses time, he has cursed the Lord of time who turns it, manages it, and alternates it among the servants. This is not cursing time; rather, it is cursing the Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He.
