It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were about forty men with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a tent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Are you pleased that you will be a fourth of the people of Paradise? We said: Yes. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Are you pleased that your number will be a third of the people of Paradise? We said: Yes! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, I hope that half of the people of Paradise will be you, because only those will enter Paradise who are Muslims, and in comparison to the polytheists, your number is like a white hair on the skin of a black ox or a black hair on the skin of a red ox.
