وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
إِنَّمَا أَجَلُكُمْ فِي أَجَلِ مَنْ خَلَا مِنَ الْأُمَمِ، كَمَا بَيْنَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ، وَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَعْمَلَ عُمَّالًا، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ ؟ فَعَمِلَتِ الْيَهُودُ إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ ؟ فَعَمِلَتِ النَّصَارَى. ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَنْ يَعْمَلُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ ؟ أَلَا فَأَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ، أَلَا فَلَكُمُ الْأَجْرُ مَرَّتَيْنِ. فَغَضِبَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى، وَقَالُوا: نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ عَمَلًا وَأَقَلُّ عَطَاءً. قَالَ: هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ حَقِّكُمْ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: فَإِنَّهُ فَضْلِي أُعْطِيهِ مَنْ شِئْتُ
Translation
Chain of narrators
- ʿAbdullāh
- Rasūl Allāh ﷺ
✧ Your appointed term is but in comparison to the appointed term of the nations that came before you like the time between the afternoon prayer and sunset. Your example and the example of the Jews and Christians is like that of a man who employed workers and said: 'Who will work for me until midday for one qirat?' The Jews worked until midday for one qirat. Then he said: 'Who will work for me from midday until the afternoon prayer for one qirat, one qirat?' The Christians worked. Then he said: 'Who will work from the afternoon prayer until sunset for two qirats, two qirats? Indeed, you are the ones who work from the afternoon prayer until sunset for two qirats, two qirats, so you will have the reward twice.' The Jews and Christians became angry and said: 'We have worked more but received less.' He said: 'Have I wronged you in anything of your due?' They said: 'No.' He said: 'That is My bounty which I give to whomever I will.'
