عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مَا أَطْوَلَ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ لَيُخَفَّفُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَخَفَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ يُصَلِّيهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that it was asked from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "A day will be of fifty thousand years, how long will that day be?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul! It will be very light upon the believer; it will feel to him only as long as he spends in performing an obligatory prayer in the world."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The command of Allah, the Exalted, is: {تَعْرُجُ الْمَلٰئِکَۃُ وَالرُّوْحُ اِلَیْہِ فِیْیَوْمٍ کَانَ مِقْدَارُہ خَمْسِیْنَ اَلْفَ سَـنَۃٍ۔} … The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day the measure of which is fifty thousand years. (Surah al-Ma'arij: 4)
There is much difference of opinion regarding the specification of this day. Hafiz Ibn Kathir, after mentioning a total of four opinions, has given preference to the following view: This is the Day of Resurrection (Qiyamah); in this verse, its duration has been stated. This is also supported by the following hadith:
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, while describing the punishment for one who withholds zakat, said: ((Hatta yahkuma Allahu bayna ibadihi fi yawmin kana miqdaruhu khamsina alfa sanatin mimma tauddoon.)) … (that his punishment will continue) until Allah, the Exalted, judges between His servants on a day whose duration, according to your reckoning, will be fifty thousand years. (Sahih Muslim)
