نِعْمَتَانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ الصِّحَّةُ وَالْفَرَاغُ
There are two blessings which many people waste: health and free time.
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas
إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ فَمَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً
Allah has written down the good deeds and the bad deeds, then He made that clear. Whoever intends to do a good deed but does not do it, Allah writes it down as one complete good deed.
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas
إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ مَنْ عَادَى لِي وَلِيًّا فَقَدْ آذَنْتُهُ بِالْحَرْبِ وَمَا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ عَبْدِي بِشَيْءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا افْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَمَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ
Allah said: 'Whoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine, I declare war against him. My servant draws near to Me with nothing more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him. My servant continues to draw near to Me with voluntary acts until I love him.'
Narrated by Abu Hurairah
الدُّنْيَا سِجْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَجَنَّةُ الْكَافِرِ
This world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever.
