حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " أَلَا إِنَّمَا بَقَاؤُكُمْ فِيمَا سَلَفَ قَبْلَكُمْ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى، ، غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ، أُوتِيَ (١) أَهْلُ التَّوْرَاةِ التَّوْرَاةَ، فَعَمِلُوا حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ، ثُمَّ (٢) عَجَزُوا، فَأُعْطُوا قِيرَاطًا قِيرَاطًا، ثُمَّ أُوتِيَ أَهْلُ الْإِنْجِيلِ الْإِنْجِيلَ، فَعَمِلُوا إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، ثُمَّ عَجَزُوا، فَأُعْطُوا قِيرَاطًا قِيرَاطًا، ثُمَّ أُوتِينَا الْقُرْآنَ، فَعَمِلْنَا إِلَى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ، فَأُعْطِينَا قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ، فَقَالَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابَيْنِ: أَيْ رَبَّنَا لِمَ (٣) أَعْطَيْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ، وَأَعْطَيْتَنَا قِيرَاطًا قِيرَاطًا، وَنَحْنُ كُنَّا أَكْثَرَ عَمَلًا مِنْهُمْ؟ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ أُجُورِكُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: فَهُوَ فَضْلِي أُوتِيهِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ " (٤)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying from the pulpit: The duration of your existence 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 little work but received greater 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.
