Prophet Muhammad

There are two blessings in which most people are deceived:
health and free time.

نِعْمَتَانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، الصِّحَّةُ وَالْفَرَاغُ

Ni'metâni mağbûnun fîhimâ kesîrun mine'n-nâs: es-sıhhatü ve'l-ferâğ

Al-Bukhari, Sahih, Riqaq 1, hadith no. 6412.

While time is in our hands, it has no name.
Free time, we say.

The hadith counts it as a blessing.
A blessing in which people are cheated, at that.

To be cheated is a word of the market here.
To sell goods below their worth.

Worth is most often
understood once it has slipped away.

A healthy morning,
an empty afternoon.
Both are spent without being counted.

To whom did you give today,
and for how much?
