"مثل المسلمين واليهود والنصارى كمثل رجل استأجر قوما يعملون له عملا إلى الليل فعملوا إلى نصف النهار فقالوا: لا حاجة لنا إلى أجرك الذي شرطت لنا وما عملنا لك فقال لهم: لا تفعلوا أكملوا بقية عملكم وخذوا أجركم كاملا فأبوا وتركوه فاستأجر أجراء بعدهم فقال: اعملوا بقية يومكم ولكم الذي شرطت لهم من الأجر فعملوا حتى إذا كان حين صلاة العصر قالوا: لك ما عملنا ولك الأجر الذي جعلت لنا فيه فقال: أكملوا بقية عملكم فإنما بقي من النهار شيء يسير فأبوا فاستأجر قوما أن يعملوا له بقية يومهم فعملوا بقية يومهم حتى غابت الشمس واستكملوا أجر الفريقين كليهما فذلك مثلهم ومثل ما قبلوا من هذا النور "
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"The example of the Muslims, the Jews and the Christians is like a man who hired some people to work for him until night. They worked until midday, then said: 'We have no need of the wage you fixed for us, nor of the work we have done for you.' He said to them: 'Do not do this; complete the rest of your work and take your full wage.' But they refused and abandoned it. Then after them he hired other labourers and said: 'Work the rest of your day, and you will have the wage I fixed for the first ones.' They worked until, when the time of the Asr prayer came, they said: 'What we have done is yours, and the wage you fixed for us is yours as well.' He said: 'Complete the rest of your work, for only a small part of the day remains.' But they refused. Then he hired some other people to work for him for the rest of the day. They worked the remainder of the day until the sun set, and they received in full the wages of both earlier groups. So this is their example, and the example of this light which they accepted."
