7467. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, while he was standing on the pulpit, saying, "The remaining period of your stay (on the earth) in comparison to the nations before you, is like the period between the Asr prayer and sunset. The people of the Taurāt (Torah) were given the Torah and they acted upon it till midday, and then they were worn out and were given for their labour, one Qirāt each. Then the people of the Injeel (Gospel) were given the Injeel and they acted upon it till the time of the Asr prayer, and then they were worn out and were given (for their labour), one Qirāt each. Then you people were given the Qur'an and you acted upon it till sunset and so you were given two Qirāt each (double the reward of the previous nations).” Then the people of the Taurāt (Torah) said, ‘O our Lord! These people have done a little labour (much less than we) but have taken a greater reward.’ Allāh said, ‘Have I withheld anything from your reward?’ They said, ‘No.’ Then Allāh said, ‘That is My Favour which I bestow on whom I wish.’”
