Sahih Muslim 2246b (Book 40, Hadith 2) #12952
The Power of Time

SUMMARY: Allah is the one who controls time and it should not be abused.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: The son of Adam displeases Me by abusing Dahr (time), whereas I am Dahr--I alternate the night and the day.
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَرَ - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي، هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُؤْذِينِي ابْنُ آدَمَ يَسُبُّ الدَّهْرَ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ أُقَلِّبُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ

This hadith speaks about the power of time. It is narrated by Abu Huraira that Allah said that the son of Adam displeases Him when he abuses Dahr, which means time in Arabic. In this hadith, Allah is telling us that He is in control of time as He alternates between day and night. We should not abuse or misuse our time as it belongs to Allah and we must respect it. We should use our days wisely by doing good deeds and helping others instead of wasting our precious moments on things that do not benefit us or anyone else around us.
