[36].Surah Yaseen [Yaseen]
Ayat 48. And they say: “When will this promise (i.e. Resurrection) be fulfilled, if you are truthful?”
Ayat 49. They await only a single Saihah (shout, etc.), which will seize them while they are disputing!
Ayat 50. Then they will not be able to make a request, nor will they return to their family.
Tafseer of Surah Yaseen, Ayat 48 to 50. Further, they say, “When will this promise (come to pass), if what ye say is true?” In addition to the arrogance and blasphemy referred to in the last note, they not only refuse Faith, but they taunt the men of Faith as if the men of Faith were dealing in falsehood: “If there is a Hereafter, tell us when it will be!” The answer is: “It will come sooner than you expect; you will yet be disputing about things of Faith and neglecting your opportunities in Life, when the Hour will sound, and you will have not time even to make your disposition in this life: you will be cut off from everyone whom you thought to be near and dear to you, or able to help you!” Ayat 49. They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves! Ayat 50. No (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their own people!
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “There are two blessings in which many people incur loss. (They are) healthy and free time (for doing good)”.
[Al-Bukhari Volume 08, Chapter 76, Hadith # 421].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Yaseen Ayat 50. Then they will not be able to make bequest, nor will they return to their family.
1. Al-Ghabn in Arabic means loss. What it really signifies is to sell something of one’s own on less than its due price, or to buy something on its double or triple price. In both cases one is a loser. When a person comes to know about such a loss, he repents and feels sorry for it. This loss coupled with regret is called Al-Ghabn. In Hadith, man has been compared with trader, and health and leisure enjoyed by him with merchandise. One who uses his merchandise with care, gains profit while he who wastes it, that is to say, uses it carelessly, will be a loser on the Day of Resurrection.
2. The majority of people do not take proper care of both these things, with the result that one wastes the time in useless activities and spends the physical strength and energy in the disobedience of Allah. One will have to face severe consequences of it on the Day of Resurrection when he will be brought into account for everything.
