Hadith #553
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَ
ةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ لَا يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ يَا خَيْبَةَ الدَّهْرِ فَإِنِّي أَنَا الدَّهْرُ أُقَلِّبُ لَيْلَهُ وَنَهَارَهُ فَإِذَا شِئْتُ قَبَضْتُهُمَا

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from Ibn al-Musayyab — that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Allah (تعالى) says: "Let none of you say: 'Ya khayba al-dahr [O misfortune of time!]' — for I am al-Dahr [Time]. I alternate its night and its day. When I will, I seize them both."' [This is a variant of the same prohibition as hadith 168, transmitted through a different chain — al-Zuhri → Ibn al-Musayyab — rather than al-Zuhri → 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Abdillah.]
