It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah Almighty has promised me that He will admit four hundred thousand people from my Ummah into Paradise. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: O Messenger of Allah! Increase this number for us. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gathered his palm and said: And like this. He said: O Messenger of Allah! Increase this number for us. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: And like this. At that moment, Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: Abu Bakr! This is enough for you, now stop. But Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: Umar! Leave me, and let me make the request. If Allah Almighty admits all of us into Paradise, what objection could you have? Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: If Allah Almighty wills, He can admit all His creation into Paradise with a single palm. Upon hearing this, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, has spoken the truth.
