The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'The scriptures of Prophet Abraham (AS) contain the following: ‘…the rational man, as long as he is of sound reason, must put aside several hours during the day an hour for conversing with his Lord, an hour for [self-scrutiny and accounting for himself, an hour to ponder over Allah's favors bestowed upon him, and an hour to spend on his own lawful pleasures, for this one hour will be an aid to him in fulfilling his other hours, as well as a time to recuperate and relax.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): كان فيها [أي صُحُفِ إبراهيم (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ]...: على العاقِلِ ما لَم يَكُن مَغلوباً على عَقلِهِ أن يكونَ لَهُ ساعاتٌ: ساعَةٌ يُناجِي فيها رَبَّهُ عزّوجلّ ، وساعَةٌ يُحاسِبُ نَفسَهُ ، وساعَةٌ يَتَفَكَّرُ فيما صَنَعَ اللّهُ عزّوجلّ إلَيهِ ، وساعَةٌ يَخلُو فيها بِحَظِّ نفسِهِ مِنَ الحَلالِ؛ فإنّ هذهِ الساعَةَ عَونٌ لِتلكَ الساعاتِ واستِجمامٌ للقُلوبِ وتَوزِيعٌ لها.
