It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will say: O Adam! Stand up and separate the portion of Hell. He will say: O my Lord! I am present, all goodness is in Your hand. How much is the portion of Hell? Allah Almighty will say: From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine. At that time (such a state of panic will prevail that) children will become old, every pregnant woman will miscarry, and people will appear unconscious, though they will not be unconscious; in reality, the punishment of Allah Almighty will be severe and intense. Someone said: O Messenger of Allah! Who will be that one person among us who will be saved? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (The number of Gog and Magog will be so great that) nine hundred and ninety-nine will be from them and one will be from you. Upon hearing this, the noble Companions said, "Allahu Akbar." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Are you pleased that a quarter of the people of Paradise will be from you? By Allah! I hope that a quarter of the people of Paradise will be from you. By Allah! I hope that a third of the people of Paradise will be from you. By Allah! Rather, I hope that half of the people of Paradise will be from you. Upon hearing this, the noble Companions said, "Allahu Akbar," with joy. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, your number compared to other people will be like a few white hairs on the body of a black ox, or a few black hairs on the body of a white ox.
