Anyone recall this?

As-salamu alaykum, I vaguely remember coming across a Hadith or Islamic teaching where Rasulullah s.a.w witnessed or was aware of the events and stories of earlier generations. I think there was mention of some people from those times being blessed with exceptionally long lifespans, while today we live around 80 years on average. But I can't recall what special blessing we, as the Ummah, were given in place of that longevity. Does anyone know?

Good question, bro. Following.

Yeah, I think it's about wisdom or closeness to Allah SWT now, not just long life. Can't recall the exact Hadith though.

Wa alaikum as-salam. I believe it's mentioned that our Ummah was given the Quran as a great blessing in place of longevity. Or perhaps it's about the ease of gaining good deeds?

Sounds familiar but I'm not sure. Anyone have a source? Would be good to know.

I heard a scholar say it's about the abundance of our means to worship and gain reward, even with shorter lives. Like the blessings of technology to learn and spread deen.
