Explanation

The meaning in a few plain lines

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that Allah Almighty says in the Qudsi Hadīth: The human being hurts Me and belittles Me when he curses and blames time during the times of calamities and hardships, for it is Allah Almighty alone Who controls and governs everything that happens. Therefore, cursing time is, in reality, cursing Allah Almighty, as time is a subjugated created entity in which events occur by the command of Allah.

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «اهْجُوا قُرَيْشًا، فَإِنَّهُ أَشَدُّ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ رَشْقٍ بِالنَّبْلِ»، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى ابْنِ رَوَاحَةَ، فَقَالَ: «اهْجُهُمْ» فَهَجَاهُمْ فَلَمْ يُرْضِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ حَسَّانُ: قَدْ آنَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُرْسِلُوا إِلَى هَذَا الْأَسَدِ الضَّارِبِ بِذَنَبِهِ، ثُمَّ أَدْلَعَ لِسَانَهُ فَجَعَلَ يُحَرِّكُهُ، فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَأَفْرِيَنَّهُمْ بِلِسَانِي فَرْيَ الْأَدِيمِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَعْجَلْ، فَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَعْلَمُ قُرَيْشٍ بِأَنْسَابِهَا، وَإِنَّ لِي فِيهِمْ نَسَبًا، حَتَّى يُلَخِّصَ لَكَ نَسَبِي» فَأَتَاهُ حَسَّانُ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ لَخَّصَ لِي نَسَبَكَ، وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعْرَةُ مِنَ الْعَجِينِ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ لِحَسَّانَ: «إِنَّ رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ لَا يَزَالُ يُؤَيِّدُكَ، مَا نَافَحْتَ عَنِ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ»، وَقَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «هَجَاهُمْ حَسَّانُ فَشَفَى وَاشْتَفَى» قال حسان: هجوتَ محمَّدًا فأجبتُ عنه ... وعندَ الله في ذاك الجزاءُ هجوتَ محمَّدًا بَرًّا حنيفا ... رسولُ الله شيمتُه الوفاءُ فإنَّ أبي ووالدَه وعِرْضي ... لِعِرْضِ محمَّدٍ منكم وقاءُ ثَكِلْتُ بُنَيَّتِي إلم تَرَوها ... تُثِيرُ النَّقعَ من كَنَفَي كَداءِ يُبارِيْنَ الأَعِنَّةَ مُصْعِداتٍ ... على أكتافها الأَسَلُ الظِّماءُ تظلُّ جيادُنا مُتَمَطِّراتٌ ... تُلَطِّمُهُنَّ بالخمرِ النساءُ فإن أعرضتُمُو عنَّا اعتمرنا ... وكان الفتح وانكشف الغطاءُ وإلا فاصبروا لِضِراب يومٍ ... يُعِزُّ اللهُ فيه مَن يشاءُ وقال الله: قد أرسلت عبدًا ... يقولُ الحقَّ ليس به خفاء وقال الله: قد يَسَّرْتُ جُندًا ... همُ الأنصار عُرْضَتُها اللِّقاءُ لنا في كلِّ يومٍ من مَعَدٍّ ... سبابٌ أو قتالٌ أو هجاءُ فمَنْ يهجو رسولَ الله منكم ... ويمدحُهُ وينصرُهُ سواءُ؟ وجبريلٌ رسولُ الله فينا ... وروحُ القُدْسِ ليس له كِفَاءُ.رواه مسلم
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ، وَأَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ، وَصَامَ رَمَضَانَ كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الجَنَّةَ، جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ جَلَسَ فِي أَرْضِهِ الَّتِي وُلِدَ فِيهَا»، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَفَلاَ نُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّ فِي الجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ، أَعَدَّهَا اللَّهُ لِلْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، مَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَاسْأَلُوهُ الفِرْدَوْسَ، فَإِنَّهُ أَوْسَطُ الجَنَّةِ وَأَعْلَى الجَنَّةِ -أُرَاهُ- فَوْقَهُ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَمِنْهُ تَفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الجَنَّةِ».رواه البخاري
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Allah gathers the first and the last on the Day of Judgment, a banner will be raised for every traitor, and it will be said: This is the betrayal of so-and-so, the son of so-and-so."Agreed upon

He repeated this three times. They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Associating partners with Allah and undutifulness to parents."

Sahl ibn Sa‘d as-Sā‘idi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Observing Ribāt (guarding the Muslims' frontiers) for one day in the cause of Allah is better than the world and everything in it. The place occupied by the whip of one of you in Paradise is better than the world and everything in it. The evening or morning walk that one takes in the cause of Allah is better than the world and everything in it."Agreed upon
‘Abdur-Rahmān ibn Abi Layla reported that they were in the company of Hudhayfah, who asked for water, and a Magian brought him water. On placing the cup in his hand, he threw it at him and said, Had I not forbidden him more than once or twice—as if he were saying, I would not have done this—however, I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Do not wear silk or brocade, and do not drink from gold or silver vessels, and do not eat in platters made therefrom, for they are for them in this world and for us in the Hereafter."Agreed upon
‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever wears silk in the life of this world will not wear it in the Hereafter."Agreed upon
Abu Wāqid al-Hārith ibn ‘Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in the mosque with some people when three men came over. Two of them stepped toward the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and one left. The two stood nearby the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). One of them saw an empty place in the circle, and he sat in it. The other one sat behind them. The third one, however, left. When the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) finished, he said: "Shall I not inform you about these three persons? One of them sought refuge with Allah, so Allah gave him refuge. The second one felt shy, so Allah was shy towards him. And the last one turned away, so Allah turned away from him."Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
