Sunnis and time

Praise be to Allah the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the last Prophet and Messenger, and so:

From the advantages of Sunnis: Their care for benefiting from the time and saving it, and their hate to waste it in things which will not have a benefit neither in the world nor after world, and the reported about this issue:

On what they regret:

Ibn Mas'oud may God be pleased with him said: "I hadn't regret on a thing as regretting on a day that its sun had set, my doom had approached, and my deeds hadn't increased"

O my wonder (my God):

Abu Bakr Ibn 'Aiiash said: "If anyone lost (dropped) a Dirham, he would say: To God my Dirham has gone, while his day has passed and he never said: My day has gone and I didn't work in it"

Time as for Soliman Al Timy:

Hammad Ibn Salama said: "We never gone to Soliman Al Taimy in an allegiance time, except we find him obeying, if it was a prayer time we find him praying, if it wasn't we find him either performing ablution, visiting a patient, walking in a funeral, or sitting in the mosque, then he said: so we thought that he could never disobey God the Almighty"

Everyday a piece of you has gone:

Abu Al Darda' may God be pleased with him said: "Son of Adam! You are just days, so each day has passed a piece of you has gone. Son of Adam, you didn't stop destroying your life since you were born."

Punishment:

Narrated by Al Monkader Ibn Muhammad on the authority of his father: "Tamim Al Dary may God be pleased with him slept at one night and didn't pray at night (Tahajud), so he prayed at night for a year without sleeping as a punishment on what he has done"

Day and night:

Yehia Ibn Mo'az said: "Night is too long so don't shorten it by your sleep, and day is pure so don't impure it by your sins"

Don't be happy:

Some of the Sunnis (Assalaf) said: "How can a person whose day is destroying his month, his month is destroying his year, and his year is destroying his life, be happy by the world. How can he be happy while his age leads him to his doom and his life leads him to his death"

The praised (accepted) stinginess:

Al Hassan said: "I saw people, where everyone was stingy on his life more than his money (Dirham)"

The calling of the days and nights:

Bakr Al Mozny said: "No day that God the Exalted produced to people pass without calling: O Son of Adam! Seize the opportunity (by benefiting from me), perhaps you will not have another day after me (you will die this day)…and no night pass without calling: O Son of Adam! Seize the opportunity (by benefiting from me); perhaps you will not have another night after me (you will die this night)"

The night of Al Shafe'y:

Al Rabei' Ibn Soliman said: "Al Shafe'y used to divide the night into three parts: the first third he used to write, the second third he used to pray and the last third he used to sleep"

Hold the sun:

A man told 'Amer Ibn Ibd Kais: "Stop so I can talk to you, so he said: Hold the sun!!"

Grief:

Al Hassan said: "The Son of Adam will be shown his life hours on the Day of Resurrection, and each hour that he didn't do something good (beneficial) in it, will make his soul to be torn from the grief"

Emptiness (freeness):

Ibn Mas'ud said: "I hate to see a free man (from work), neither from the world nor after world work"

Striving to death:

Ibn Thabet Al Banaty said: "I went to indoctrinate my Father (the testimonies) but he said: O my son, leave me I am in my sixth part of Qur'an!!"

And they went to one of the Sunnis (Assalaf) at his death but they found him praying, so they blamed him but he said: Now my paper is pleated"

Save God, he will save you:

Ibrahim Ibn Shaiban said: "Who saved (kept) his time for himself, as he didn't waste it in forbidden things, God will save (protect) his religion and his world for him"

Two chests (Coffers):

Malik Ibn Dinar said: "That day and night are two chests, so be careful for what you are putting in them"

And he used to say: "Work at night things that the night was created for, and work at day things that the day was created for"

The greatest danger:

Al Hasan said: "Son of Adam: You are between a two running things each one is delivering you to the other! Night puts you to the day and the day takes you to the night till it takes you to after world, so who can be in a greater danger than you my brother!?!"

My brother!!

Your path in the world is a passenger path *** And every passenger should have supplies.
And the person should carry equipments *** Especially if he is frightened from an attack of a supreme.
