How can the Hadith, "The poor will enter Paradise half a day—five hundred years—before the rich," be reconciled with the noble verse, "A Day, the measure whereof is fifty thousand years"?

The ambiguity surrounding the issue of the poor entering Paradise five hundred years—which is half a day—before the rich is resolved by pointing out that the poor referred to are the patient (Sabiroon), while the rich are the grateful (Shakiroon). The phrase "half a day" is grammatically in the genitive case, functioning as a distinguishing attribute or an appositive, because a day in the Hereafter is equivalent to one thousand years of this world, as stated in Allah's Almighty words: "And indeed, a day in the sight of your Lord is like a thousand years of what you count." Thus, half of it is five hundred. As for His Almighty saying: "in a Day, the extent of which is fifty thousand years," this is a specific case that is an exception to the general rule mentioned previously, or it refers to the prolongation of that Day for the disbelievers, just as it will be shortened to seem like an hour for the righteous, fulfilling Allah's Almighty saying: "Then, when the Trumpet is blown, that Day will be a difficult Day for the disbelievers, not easy."
