The ruling on saying, "The vicissitudes of time have exhausted me"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Among the questions that came in, Abu 'Ammar says: "Shaykh, is there any religious prohibition in the phrase, 'The vicissitudes of time and its hardships have exhausted me'? May Allah forgive you."

Answer:
Yes, nothing is attributed to time. Do not curse time, for Allah is the Time.
The son of Adam injures me by abusing time, whereas I am time. Authority is in my hand. I alternate the night and the dayيؤذيني ابن آدم، يسب الدهر، وأنا الدهر، بيدي الأمر، أقلب الليل والنهار
Sunan Abi Dawud 5274Sahih (Al-Albani)
So this is from Allah, not from time. Therefore, do not curse time, blame time, or attribute disliked things to it or the like. Yes.
