2304. Ibn ‘Abbās narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Two favors that many of the people squander are health and free time.” (Ṣaḥīh) (Another chain) with a similar narration. [He said:] There is something on this topic from Anas bin Mālik. [He said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh. More than one narrator reported it from ‘Abdullāh bin Sa‘eed bin Abī Hind in Marfū‘ form. Some of them reported it in Mawqūf form from ‘Abdullāh bin Sa‘eed bin Abī Hind.
٢٣٠٤ - حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ - قَالَ صَالِحٌ: حَدَّثَنَا، وَقَالَ سُوَيْدٌ: أَخْبَرَنَا - عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نِعْمَتَانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ» الصِّحَّةُ وَالْفَرَاغُ. ٢٣٠٤ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، نَحْوَهُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ فَرَفَعُوهُ، وَأَوْقَفَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ

It is a common spectacle that a healthy man has hardly any free time left to himself. He has innumerable occupations on his hands. It also happens that, if he has some leisure or free time, he does not have good health. If he is blessed with both, then in spite of knowing very well that this world is just a sowing field for the Hereafter, he lets go the opportunity to sow the crop of good deeds in this world in order to reap its harvest in the next. He thus suffers great loss in the end and proves his short-sightedness and foolishness.
