Al-Raazee mentioned in his Tafseer: It has been reported that
someone from the Salaf said: ❝I
learned the meaning of the Surah from an ice-seller.
He was calling out in a loud voice (pleading with people), saying: “Have mercy
on the one whose capital is melting away! Have mercy on the one whose capital
is melting away!”
I said (to myself): “This is the meaning of the saying of
Allaah تعالى:
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ
{Verily! Man is in loss}
Time passes by for a person; his life goes on, he gains
nothing, therefore, making him a loser.”❞
📚 [Tafseer al-Raazee (32/278). The Aayah is from Surah al-`Asr (103): 2]
Shaikh Muhammad al-Ameen al-Shiqeetee said in his Tafseer: “And in the Hadeeth narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh that the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, either setting themselves free or destroying themselves.❞ This confirms that a person's capital is his lifespan.”
📚 [al-Adhwaa al-Bayaan (9/91)]
The merchant knew that if he didn’t sell his ice before sunset, he wouldn’t just lose profit; he would have nothing left but a puddle of water.
Ice is frozen water. Every drop that melts away will not return. Our capital in this world is our “lifespan”. Every moment of our lives that passes by will not return. We aren’t just losing profit; we’re losing our very existence.
Soon, the sun of our lives will set!
Soon, the light of our lives will extinguish!
Soon, the book of our lives will close!
The very next moment can be our last!
The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝There are two blessings which many people lose: (they are) Good Health and Free Time (for doing good deeds).❞
📚 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (6412)]
Alee ibn Abee Taalib رضي الله عنه used to say: ❝Certainly this life has begun traveling away, and the Hereafter has begun traveling forward, and each has its children. So be from the children of the Hereafter, and don’t be from the children of this life. For indeed today there is action with no account, and tomorrow there will be account with no action.❞
