The meaning of the Hadith reading 'There are two blessings which many people forfeit: health and spare time'

476

Q 2: Would you please explain the saying of the Messenger of Allah which is recorded in Sahih Al-Bukhari, in the Book of "Al-Riqaq," There are two blessings which many people forfeit (their reward for failing to appreciate them): health and spare time. May Allah reward you with the best.

A: This Hadith means that a Muslim should make the best use of his spare time and health by performing good deeds; otherwise they will lose these two great opportunities.
