Halakhah zu Pirkei Avot 4:17
הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, יָפָה שָׁעָה אַחַת בִּתְשׁוּבָה וּמַעֲשִׂים טוֹבִים בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה, מִכָּל חַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא. וְיָפָה שָׁעָה אַחַת שֶׁל קוֹרַת רוּחַ בָּעוֹלָם הַבָּא, מִכָּל חַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה:
Er pflegte zu sagen: Besser eine Stunde für Buße und gute Taten in dieser Welt als alles Leben in der kommenden Welt. [Denn zu dieser Zeit nützen Buße und gute Taten einem Menschen nichts. Denn die kommende Welt dient nur dazu, Belohnung für das zu erhalten, was man in dieser Welt erfüllt hat.] Und besser eine Stunde Freude in der kommenden Welt als das ganze Leben in dieser Welt.

And when the sages wanted to reveal to us the greatness of this pleasure, they did not find him a fixed footage, only included him in one great rule, and said (Avot PD Miz): "Beautiful one hour of contentment in the next world from all the life of this world":
