In Ghaflah: The Sleep of the Heart

The Prophet ﷺ located the injury with an exactness that is difficult to sit under:

Maghbūn is a word from the marketplace. It describes the man on the losing side of a transaction: the one who sold something precious for a fraction of its worth and walked away from the bargain pleased with himself. Not robbed, and not held up at knifepoint. Cheated in a trade he himself agreed to.

Which is what an evening on a feed is.

"Two blessings in which many people are cheated: health, and free time."
