مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Umar
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5454 — I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Beware!
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، يَقُولُ : أَلَا إِنَّمَا بَقَاؤُكُمْ فِيمَا سَلَفَ قَبْلَكُمْ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ : أُوتِيَ أَهْلُ التَّوْرَاةِ التَّوْرَاةَ فَعَمِلُوا حَتَّى انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ ثُمَّ عَجَزُوا ، فَأُعْطُوا قِيرَاطًا ، ثُمَّ أُوتِيَ أَهْلُ الْإِنْجِيلِ الْإِنْجِيلَ فَعَمِلُوا إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ ، ثُمَّ عَجَزُوا فَأُعْطُوا قِيرَاطًا ، ثُمَّ أُوتِينَا الْقُرْآنَ ، فَعَمِلْنَا إِلَى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ ، فَأُعْطِينَا قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابَيْنِ : أَيْ رَبَّنَا ، لِمَ أَعْطَيْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ ، وَأَعْطَيْتَنَا قِيرَاطًا قِيرَاطًا ، وَنَحْنُ كُنَّا أَكْثَرَ عَمَلٍ مِنْهُمْ ؟ قَالَ اللهُ : هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْرِكُمْ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالُوا : لَا ، قَالَ : فَهُوَ فَضْلِي أُوتِيهِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Beware! The length of your stay compared to the nations that came before you is only like the time between the Asr prayer and sunset. The people of the Torah were given the Torah, and they worked until midday and then became unable, so they were given one qirat each as reward. Then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel, and they worked until the Asr prayer and then became unable, so they too were given one qirat each. Then we were given the Qur'an, and we worked until sunset, so we were given two qirats each as reward. At this the people of the two Books (the Jews and the Christians) cried out: 'O our Lord! You gave these people two qirats each and gave us one qirat each, although we did more work than them?' Allah Almighty said: 'Have I wronged you by reducing anything of your reward?' They said: 'No.' Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'Then this is My bounty; I give it to whomever I will.'"
