The hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for the one that follows, it is authentic; and it is his saying: And from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): [Maryam 19:39]; he said: .
Ibn Hibban narrated it in his "Sahih," and it is in Muslim with its meaning in a later hadith that will come, if Allah wills.
In this hadith is an explanation of a verse in the Noble Qur'an in Surat Maryam, where He says (Mighty and Majestic):[Maryam 19:39], [Maryam 19:39] meaning that the punishment overtook them, [Maryam 19:39] This hadith clarifies that the intended meaning is not that they were in heedlessness when the punishment overtook them and they met their just reward on the Day of Resurrection, but rather that [Maryam 19:39] in this world, when they were commanded to obey Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and follow His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); so their stance was as their Lord said in this verse: [Maryam 19:39], [Maryam 19:39] meaning: in this world, [Maryam 19:39] in this world, in recompense for their disbelief in Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in this world and their heedlessness therein, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) rewarded them in the Hereafter with a bad reward, as a recompense for their disbelief and their misguidance. This is the meaning of His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): [Maryam 19:39] meaning: in this world.
And it seems that the intended meaning of this phrase is that this world is what diverted them and occupied them from obedience; whether it was complete obedience, and that is a description that applies even to the believers who fell short in fulfilling their duty toward their Lord, or whether the obedience was completely deprived, which is a complete description for the disbelievers; in that case, their heedlessness would be very deep, such that they were blind even to the most obvious and apparent of truths, which is faith in Allah and His Messenger.
Therefore, we should take a lesson from this hadith that this world is a cause of heedlessness from the obedience of Allah (Mighty and Majestic); either a little or a lot, each according to his measure.

In this hadith is an explanation of a verse in the Noble Qur'an in Surat Maryam, where He says (Mighty and Majestic):
And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.
وَأَنْذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ إِذْ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ وَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَwhen the matter will be concluded
إِذْ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُthey are in [a state of] heedlessness

وَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَAnd warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness
