Hazrat Ibn Abbas 
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah 
 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "There are two blessings in which many people incur loss. 
(They are) health and free time (for doing good)". 
[Al-Bukhari Volume 
08, Chapter 76, Hadith # 
421]. 
Lesson : as 
mentioned above in Surah An- Nahl Ayat 119. "who do evil (commit 
sins and are disobedient to Allah) in ignorance and afterward repent and do 
righteous deeds", 1. Al-Ghabn in Arabic 
means loss. What it really signifies is to sell something of one's own on less 
than its due price, or to buy something on its double or triple price. In both 
cases one is a loser. When a person comes to know about such a loss, he repents 
and feels sorry for it. This loss coupled with regret is called Al-Ghabn. In 
Ahadith, man has been compared with trader, and health and leisure enjoyed by 
him with merchandise. One who uses his merchandise with care, gains profit while 
he who wastes it, that is to say, uses it carelessly, will be a loser on the Day 
of Resurrection. 
2. The majority of people do not take proper care of both 
these things, with the result that one wastes the time in useless activities and 
spends the physical strength and energy in the disobedience of Allah. One will 
have to face severe consequences of it on the Day of Resurrection when he will 
be brought into account for everything.
