I heard `Umar saying, "May Allah Curse so-and-so! Doesn't he know that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'May
Allah curse the Jews for, though they were forbidden (to eat) fat, they liquefied it and sold it. "

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Your period (i.e. the Muslims' period) in comparison to the periods of the
previous nations, is like the period between the `Asr prayer and sunset. And your example in
comparison to the Jews and the Christians is like the example of a person who employed some
laborers and asked them, 'Who will work for me till midday for one Qirat each?' The Jews worked for
half a day for one Qirat each. The person asked, 'Who will do the work for me from midday to the
time of the `Asr (prayer) for one Qirat each?' The Christians worked from midday till the `Asr prayer
for one Qirat. Then the person asked, 'Who will do the work for me from the `Asr till sunset for two
Qirats each?' " The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "It is you (i.e. Muslims) who are doing the work from the `Asr till
sunset, so you will have a double reward. The Jews and the Christians got angry and said, 'We have
done more work but got less wages.' Allah said, 'Have I been unjust to you as regards your rights?'
They said, 'No.' So Allah said, 'Then it is My Blessing which I bestow on whomever I like. "

others the stories of Bani Israel (which have been taught to you), for it is not sinful to do so. And
whoever tells a lie on me intentionally, will surely take his place in the (Hell) Fire."
