adab:770

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "None of you should say, 'May time be disappointed!' Allah Almighty said, 'I am time (ad-Dahr). I send the night and the day. If I so wished, I could take them away.' None of you should the grape-vine 'karm" (instead of 'inab). Karm* is the Muslim man."

الأدب المفرد:٧٧٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ يَا خَيْبَةَ الدَّهْرِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنَا الدَّهْرُ أُرْسِلُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ فَإِذَا شِئْتُ قَبَضْتُهُمَا وَلاَ يَقُولَنَّ لِلْعِنَبِ الْكَرْمَ فَإِنَّ الْكَرْمَ الرَّجُلُ الْمُسْلِمُ

None of you should abuse Time for it is Allah Who is the Time, and none of you should call 'Inab (grape) as al-karm, for karm is a Muslim person.

مسلم:٢٢٤٧aحَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَسُبُّ أَحَدُكُمُ الدَّهْرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الدَّهْرُ وَلاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ لِلْعِنَبِ الْكَرْمَ فَإِنَّ الْكَرْمَ الرَّجُلُ الْمُسْلِمُ
