حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ: " أَلَا إِنَّ (٢) بَقَاءَكُمْ فِيمَا سَلَفَ قَبْلَكُمْ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ، كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ، أُعْطِيَ أَهْلُ التَّوْرَاةِ التَّوْرَاةَ، فَعَمِلُوا بِهَا حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ عَجَزُوا، فَأُعْطُوا قِيرَاطًا قِيرَاطًا (٣) ، وَأُعْطِيَ (٤) أَهْلُ الْإِنْجِيلِ الْإِنْجِيلَ، فَعَمِلُوا بِهِ حَتَّى صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، ثُمَّ عَجَزُوا، فَأُعْطُوا قِيرَاطًا قِيرَاطًا، ثُمَّ أُعْطِيتُمُ الْقُرْآنَ، ، فَعَمِلْتُمْ بِهِ حَتَّى غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَأُعْطِيتُمْ قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ، فَقَالَ أَهْلُ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ: رَبَّنَا هَؤُلَاءِ أَقَلُّ عَمَلًا وَأَكْثَرُ أَجْرًا، فَقَالَ: هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْرِكُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ فَقَالُوا: لَا، فَقَالَ: فَضْلِي أُوتِيهِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying on the pulpit: The duration of your survival compared to the previous people is like the time between Asr and Maghrib. The people of the Torah were given the Torah, so they acted upon it, but at midday they became unable to continue, so each of them was given one qirat. Then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel, and they acted upon it until Asr, but then they too became unable to continue, so each of them was given one qirat. Then you were given the Qur’an, and you acted upon it until Maghrib, so you were given two qirats each. Upon this, the people of the Torah and the Gospel said: O Lord! These people did less work but received more reward. Allah said: Did I wrong you in your wages in any way? They said: No. Allah said: Then I bestow My bounty upon whom I will.
