Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Many people do not benefit from health and free time; rather, when they spend these two blessings in improper ways, these very great blessings become a source of ruin for them. Whereas, if they had used them correctly, they would have become a means of goodness and well-being for them in this world and the Hereafter. It is as if they have acquired ruin in exchange for goodness.
