Your explanation makes sense, this might be also how a day with God in high council takes a thousands years, while, that day takes place with us as one day, and so it's about relative time, one with God's forces in high council (slow) and with us fast:
وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَلَنْ يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ ۚ وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ | They ask you to hasten the punishment, though Allah will never break His promise. Indeed a day with your Lord is like a thousand years by your reckoning. | Al-Hajj : 47
Just like time was relative with companions of the cave.
While this verse says:
تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ | The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day whose span is fifty thousand years. | Al-Ma'aarij : 4
This means day of judgment, and so it's talking about two different things.
Amr from Shuraih bin Ubaid from Amr Bakai from Kaabul Ahbar that he said:
“The Caliphs are Twelve. When their demise approaches and a virtuous
generation comes, Allah will prolong their lives. Such has Allah promised this
Ummah. Then he recited:
وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا
اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ
“Allah has promised to those of you who believe and do good that He
will most certainly make them rulers in the earth as He made rulers those
before them…” (Surah Nur 24:55)
He said: “Likewise did Allah, the Exalted, to the Children of Israel. It is not difficult that He may gather this Ummah in a day or half a day. And a day before your Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.
So, according to this Tradition, the 1000 years, was period that Allah gathers Ummah of Muhammad, just as He gathered Jews, when He sent Jesus.
So, why Muslims do not accept this tradition?
