حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بْنِ بُخْتٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ. عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ آجَالِكُمْ فِيمَا خَلَا مِنَ الْأُمَمِ، كَمَثَلِ مَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ، وَأَمَّا مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَعْمَلَ عُمَّالًا، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ ؟ فَعَمِلَتِ الْيَهُودُ إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ، وَعَمِلَتِ النَّصَارَى مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ ؟ أَلَا فَلَكُمُ الْأَجْرُ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَغَضِبَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى، فَقَالُوا: لَنَا نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ عَمَلًا وَأَقَلُّ عَطَاءً ؟ فَقَالَ: هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ حَقِّكُمْ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالُوا: لَا. قَالَ: فَإِنَّهُ فَضْلِي أُعْطِيهِ مَنْ شِئْتُ

✧ Indeed, the parable of your lifespans compared to those of the nations before you is like the time between the 'Asr prayer and sunset. And your parable and that of the Jews and Christians is like a man who hired workers and said: Who will work for me until midday for a qirat each? The Jews worked until midday for a qirat each. The Christians worked from midday until the 'Asr prayer for a qirat each. Then he said: Who will work for me from the 'Asr prayer until sunset for two qirats each? Indeed, you have the reward twice. The Jews and Christians became angry and said: We have more work but less pay? He said: Have I wronged you in anything of your due? They said: No. He said: Then it is my bounty; I give it to whom I will.
