Musnad of Abdullah bin Umar
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5838 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Your term
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : إِنَّمَا أَجَلُكُمْ فِي أَجَلِ مَنْ خَلَا مِنَ الْأُمَمِ ، كَمَا بَيْنَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ ، وَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَعْمَلَ عُمَّالًا ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ ؟ فَعَمِلَتِ الْيَهُودُ إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ .
ثُمَّ قَالَ : مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ ؟ فَعَمِلَتِ النَّصَارَى .
ثُمَّ قَالَ : مَنْ يَعْمَلُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ ؟ أَلَا فَأَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ ، أَلَا فَلَكُمُ الْأَجْرُ مَرَّتَيْنِ .
فَغَضِبَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى ، وَقَالُوا : نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ عَمَلًا وَأَقَلُّ عَطَاءً .
قَالَ : هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ حَقِّكُمْ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالُوا : لَا ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّهُ فَضْلِي أُعْطِيهِ مَنْ شِئْتُ .
ثُمَّ قَالَ : مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ ؟ فَعَمِلَتِ النَّصَارَى .
ثُمَّ قَالَ : مَنْ يَعْمَلُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ ؟ أَلَا فَأَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ ، أَلَا فَلَكُمُ الْأَجْرُ مَرَّتَيْنِ .
فَغَضِبَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى ، وَقَالُوا : نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ عَمَلًا وَأَقَلُّ عَطَاءً .
قَالَ : هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ حَقِّكُمْ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالُوا : لَا ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّهُ فَضْلِي أُعْطِيهِ مَنْ شِئْتُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your term (for deeds) compared with the term of the past nations is only like the time from the Asr prayer until sunset. The example of you and of the Jews and Christians is that of a man who employed some labourers and said: Who will work for me until midday for one qirat each? So the Jews worked until midday for one qirat each. Then he said: Who will work for me from midday until the Asr prayer for one qirat each? So the Christians worked. Then he said: Who will work from the Asr prayer until sunset for two qirats each? Beware! You are the people who are working from the Asr prayer until sunset for two qirats each. Be aware that for you there is a double reward. At this the Jews and the Christians became angry and said: We did more work and received less pay? The employer asked: Have I wronged you by reducing anything of your due? They said: No. He said: Then this is my favour; I give it to whomever I wish."
