Hazrat Abdullah Ibne Abbas RA has narrated that Rasool Allah SAW said that:

There are two blessings of Allah Ta'alah about which many people are negligent, one is health and the other is being carefree.

This Hadith is one of those few Ahadith about which Buzurg (holy people) have said that if one manages to act fully on these few Ahadith he will InshaAllah be delivered from Jahannum (hell).

In explaining this Hadith Hazrat said that when a person is blessed with these two blessings that is being healthy and being free from worries, then he starts believing that he will stay in this state forever. When he gets a thought about praying or doing something virtuous then he thinks, what's the hurry, I am still young, lets enjoy life to its fullest, once I grow old then I will do a lot of Ibadat (prayers) and get all y sins forgiven. He witnesses young people getting sick and dying on a daily basis, goes to the Graveyard to help bury them, but thinks that sickness and death are for other people, I am going to live till I am old. But when suddenly the time comes he doesn't even get a moment's relaxation to do some more Ibadat.
