Explanation of the author's statement: It contains issues, the first being: the prohibition of cursing time, the second: calling it a harm to Allah, the third

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author says that "it contains issues, the first being: the prohibition of cursing time" and what is the evidence for that?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : What is your evidence?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Where do you take this from, O 'Abd Allah?
The student: From His saying, the Exalted:
The son of Adam hurts Me يؤذيني ابن آدم


The Shaykh : From His saying, the Exalted:
The son of Adam hurts Me يؤذيني ابن آدم
, yes.
The reader: "The third: reflecting on his statement:
for it is Allah Who is Time فإن الله هو الدهر
Sahih Muslim 2246e
"


The Shaykh : Yes, we reflected on his statement:
for it is Allah Who is Time فإن الله هو الدهر
Sahih Muslim 2246e
and we found that its meaning is?
The student: The turner of time...

The Shaykh : And its controller, and the meaning is not that Allah Himself is time. Now, how, O Khalid, is it impossible that Allah Himself is time?
The student: If we say that He is time, then the Creator becomes a creation.

The Shaykh : And the creation becomes a Creator, so the one who is turned becomes the one who turns, and likewise the reverse. Now, yes.
The reader: "The fourth: that one may be a curser even if he did not intend it with his heart"

The Shaykh : Where do you take this from, O Muhammad?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, not from the hadith; this hadith is a report, meaning an incident of division, an incident.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, from his saying:
The son of Adam displeases Me by abusing Dahr (time) يؤذيني ابن آدم يسب الدهر
Sahih Muslim 2246b
and he did not mention intention, yes.
And his saying: "that he becomes a curser" means if someone said: if he had expressed it by saying "he becomes a harmer" even if he did not intend to harm, it would have been clearer, clearer than saying "for Allah is time," because Allah explicitly stated cursing time, cursing, and the verb is not attributed except to one who intended it, so if it were said: that he becomes a harmer to Allah even if he did not intend to harm, it would be correct due to the generality of the hadith.
Now, the author missed something from the issues of the chapter. What is it that he missed from the issues of the chapter? Hmm? His habit, may Allah have mercy on him, when he says "it contains issues," is to cover everything in the chapter, meaning everything that the evidence in the chapter indicates.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, the verse, and although his habit, may Allah have mercy on him, when he mentions verses and hadiths is to say "it contains issues, the first is the interpretation of such a verse and the interpretation of such a verse," and these either dropped out by the copyists, or the author, may Allah have mercy on him, overlooked them and forgot them.
In any case, in this chapter among the issues is: the interpretation of the verse of al-Jathiyah
And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live وقالوا ما هي إلا حياتنا الدنيا نموت ونحيى
[Al-Jathiyah 45:24]
to the end, and we have known its interpretation and explained its relevance to the chapter, yes.
