A man reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shown the lifespans of the people who came before him, or as much of that as Allah willed, and it seemed to him that the lifespans of his own community were too short for them to attain through their deeds what others had attained in their long lives. So Allah granted him Laylat al-Qadr, which is better than a thousand months.

وحدثني زياد عن مالك، أنه

سمع من يثق به من أهل العلم يقول

إن رسول الله ﷺ أري أعمار الناس قبله، أو ما شاء الله من ذلك، فكأنه تقاصر أعمار أمته أن لا يبلغوا من العمل مثل الذي بلغ غيرهم في طول العمر، فأعطاه الله ليلة القدر خير من ألف شهر.
