Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2172b
"عَن مجاهد قال: قال لى عُمَرُ: هَلْ تَدْرِى كَمْ لَبِثَ نُوحٌ في قَوْمِهِ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسينَ عَامًا، قال: فَإِنَّ مَنَ كَانَ قَبْلُ كَانُوا أَطوَلَ أَعْمَارًا ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلِ النَّاسُ يَنْقُصُونَ في الْخُلُق والْخَلقِ وَالأَجَلِ إِلى يَوْمِهِم هَذَا".

"Mujahid said: 'Umar said to me: 'Do you know how long Nuh remained among his people?' I said: 'Yes, a thousand years less fifty years.' He said: 'Those before us had longer lifespans. Then people continued to decline in their physical form, their creation, and their lifespan until this day of ours.'"
