The son of Adam curses time

The son of Adam curses time  

 The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said in narration of Abu Hurayrah: "Allah said the son of Adam hurts Me by abusing time, for I am Time, in My Hand are all things, and I cause the alternation of night and day" (Sahih Albukhari 7491).

Commentary:

  The time is in the Hand of Allah, where Allah is the only One who brings the night and the day, and He makes the night and the day in succession, if one of them comes, the other goes, and it is not permissible for the night to overtake the day, nor is permissible for the day to overtake the night, and if Allah took one of them away, there would be no one to bring it back as Allah has stated in Ayat (71,72) of Surat Alqasas, addressing His Messenger Muhammad (PBUH) "Say Do you see, if Allah makes the night continuous for you till the day of resurrection, Which god other than Allah could bring you light, then Will you not hear?, Say Do you see, if Allah makes the day continuous for you till the day of resurrection Which god other than Allah could bring you a night in which you may rest, then Will you not see?".

The people in Pre-Islamic era (Aljahiliyah) used to curse the time when a calamity befalls them, so when calamities and adversities befall them from the death of a loved one, loss of property, or other such things, they say Curse be upon time, O misery of time, O disappointment of time, and so on, so they forget that all of their affair is in the Hand of Allah, and that what befalls them of good or evil is by Allah's will and permission, so whatever He wills, it happens, and whatever He does not will, it does not happen.

 Thereupon, Allah assures that whoever insults the time, then He is insulting Allah, for Allah is the Creator of time, in His Hand are all things, and He causes the alternation of night and day, and thus, he hurts Allah; For whoever curses the time, then he is either associating others with Allah or insulting Allah, where when he is afflicted by a calamity and believes that time is the cause of matter, them he is associating time with Allah, and if he believes that Allah alone did that and curses time, then he is cursing Allah, and Allah has threatens those who hurt Him with curse in the worldly life and the Hereafter and a humiliating punishment in the Hereafter as He has stated in Aya (57) of Surat Alahzab "Indeed those who hurt Allah and His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in the worldly life and the Hereafter, and He has prepared for them a humiliating punishment".
