From Umm ud-Dardaa (radhiyallah hu ‘anhaa) who said: I said to Abu Dardaa (radhiyallah hu ‘anhu): Will you not seek for things to entertain your guests with just as others seek for things for their guests? So he replied: I heard Allah’s Messenger, Muhammad pbuh say:
“Ahead of you is a steep mountain which will not be surmounted by those who are over burdened”.
So I wish to lighten my load for that ascet !
(Hadith reported by al Hakim, al Baihaqi and others)
So the Muslim follows and applies the divine guidance in all his affairs. This world to him is merely a passage to the Hereafter and he has no attachment to it except for that which is essential in order to meet his needs and preserve himself.
But as for this world diverting most of his attention and being the gold which he seeks after, thinking that what he is doing is good, then this is not from the character or characteristics of the Muslim. So how strange is the case of people who waste the prime of their lives and expend their youth submerged in worldly actions, thinking they are doing good. This is indeed something from Satan, made alluring by him. So how are there people able to do this when it is the case that The Muslim Has No Free Time.
