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.

Commentary

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.
