Question:
Abu Hashim asks about the explanation of the qudsi hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 22Muttafaqun 'alayh (Zubair `Aliza'i) It is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
Answer:
Yes, the hadith is clear that it is not permissible for a person to curse time, which is the duration. If something happens to him that he dislikes, he should not attribute it to time. Rather, he should know that it is due to his sins, so he should repent to Allah,[Ash-Shuraa 42:30]. Allah has prescribed seeking forgiveness and repentance for this matter, in order to combat this overwhelming danger. He should seek forgiveness from his Lord, repent to Him, and turn to Him so that He may protect him and save him from the punishments caused by bad deeds. Yes.
