7533. Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما : Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Your stay (in this world) in comparison to the stay of the nations preceding you, is like the period between ‘Aṣr prayer and the sunset (in comparison to a whole day). The people of the Taurāt (Torah) were given the Taurāt and they acted on it till mid day and then they were unable to carry on. And they were given (a reward equal to) one Qirāt each. Then the people of the Injeel (Gospel) were given the Injeel and they acted on it till ‘Aṣr prayer and then they were unable to carry on, so they were given (a reward equal to) one Qirāt each. Then you were given the Qur'an and you acted on it till sunset, therefore you were given (a reward equal to) two Qirāt each. On that, the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) said, 'These people (Muslims) did less work than what we did but they took a bigger reward.' Allāh said (to them), 'Have I done any wrong (injustice) to you as regards your rights?' They said, 'No.' Then Allāh said, 'That is My Blessing which I grant to whomsoever I will.'

7533 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّمَا بَقَاؤُكُمْ فِيمَنْ سَلَفَ مِنَ الأُمَمِ، كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلاَةِ العَصْرِ إِلَى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ، أُوتِيَ أَهْلُ التَّوْرَاةِ التَّوْرَاةَ، فَعَمِلُوا بِهَا حَتَّى انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ ثُمَّ عَجَزُوا، فَأُعْطُوا قِيرَاطًا قِيرَاطًا، ثُمَّ أُوتِيَ أَهْلُ الإِنْجِيلِ الإِنْجِيلَ، فَعَمِلُوا بِهِ حَتَّى صُلِّيَتِ العَصْرُ ثُمَّ عَجَزُوا، فَأُعْطُوا قِيرَاطًا قِيرَاطًا، ثُمَّ أُوتِيتُمُ القُرْآنَ، فَعَمِلْتُمْ بِهِ حَتَّى غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَأُعْطِيتُمْ قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ، فَقَالَ أَهْلُ الكِتَابِ: هَؤُلاَءِ أَقَلُّ مِنَّا عَمَلًا وَأَكْثَرُ أَجْرًا، قَالَ اللَّهُ: هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ حَقِّكُمْ شَيْئًا؟ قَالُوا: لاَ، قَالَ: فَهُوَ فَضْلِي أُوتِيهِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ "
