The aforementioned statement does not appear to contain any prohibitions; rather, its meaning is good. The greatest calamity that can befall a person is a calamity in his religion, by not remembering Allah, who illuminates hearts and heals them. This is in accordance with the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "The example of one who remembers his Lord and one who does not remember his Lord is like that of the living and the dead."
