What It Means: Reading in Context

The complete reported saying is shown. The source also records a supporting transmission. This reminder names health and free time as blessings; it does not measure a person’s worth by health, productivity or the amount of leisure available to them. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 6412. The quoted wording is the English translation of the reported saying. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
