[Machine] The people of ignorance used to say, "Verily, it is time that destroys us, it is time that kills us and revives us." So, Allah responded to their statement, "Sa'id ibn Musayyib reported from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Allah, the Exalted, says: "The son of Adam offends Me in his statement by abusing time, and I am time, I turn the night and the day. So, when I will, I seize them both." Sufyan recited the verse, "And they said, 'There is no life for us but the life of this world; we die and we live, and nothing destroys us except Time.'"
كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الدَّهْرَ هُوَ الَّذِي يُهْلِكُنَا هُوَ الَّذِي يُمِيتُنَا وَيُحْيِينَا فَرَدَّ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَوْلَهُمْ 6494 قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يُؤْذِينِي ابْنُ آدَمَ يَسُبُّ الدَّهْرَ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ أُقَلِّبُ لَيْلَهُ وَنَهَارَهُ فَإِذَا شِئْتُ قَبَضْتُهُمَا وَتَلَا سُفْيَانُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَى وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلَّا الدَّهْرُ}
