Al-Ijarah -  12th Rajab 1426 (18 August 2005)
 
Narrated by Abu Musa (Radhiallaho anho):
The Prophet (sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) said, "The example of Muslims,
Jews and Christians is like the example of a man who employed laborers to
work for him from morning till night for specific wages. They worked till
midday and then said, 'We do not need your money which you have fixed for us
and let whatever we have done be annulled.'The man said to them, 'Don't quit
the work, but complete the rest of it and take your full wages.' But they
refused and went away. The man employed another batch after them and said to
them, 'Complete the rest of the day and yours will be the wages I had fixed
for the first batch.' So, they worked till the time of 'Asr prayer. Then
they said, "Let what we have done be annulled and keep the wages you have
promised us for yourself.' The man said to them, 'Complete the rest of the
work, as only a little of the day remains,' but they refused. Thereafter he
employed another batch to work for the rest of the day and they worked for
the rest of the day till the sunset, and they received the wages of the two
former batches. So, that was the example of those people (Muslims) and the
example of this light (guidance) which they have accepted willingly.
