Mālik رحمه الله related that he had heard a person he trusted from the people of knowledge say:
“Indeed, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was shown the lifespans of the people before him or as Allāh willed in that regard. So it was as if he felt that the lifespans of his Ummah were shortened, that they would not reach the level of deeds of those before them due to the length of life.
Therefore, Allah gave him the Night of Decree, which is better than a thousand months.”

A duā to get whatever you want إنْ شاءَ اَلرَّبُّ وَعِشْنَا:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

Your Lord ˹O Prophet˺ has not abandoned you, nor has He become hateful ˹of you˺.

This Ayah brings so much comfort. Allāh ﷻ Himself affirms us by telling that He is always there with us, irrespective of any circumstances. That people may loathe you, but your Creator ﷻ won't. That people will abandon you, but your Creator ﷻ won't. Allāh ﷻ loves us, He listens to us, He knows us. Isn't that assuring in itself? This ayat is the perfect embodiment of peace, reassurance and the love of Allah ﷻ .
رَبَّنَا وَاٰتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَّنَا عَلٰي رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ؕ اِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيْعَادَ
"Our Lord! Grant us what You have promised us through Your messengers and do not put us to shame on Judgment Day—for certainly You never fail in Your promise.”

Narrated by Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' "
—Sahih al-Bukhari 7405

Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?” He said: “Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back.”
