6530. Narrated Abū Sa'īd: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Allāh will say, ‘O Ādam!’ Ādam will reply, ‘Labbaik and Sa'daik (I respond to Your Call, I am obedient to Your Orders), wal khair fi Yadaik (and all the good is in Your Hands)!’ Then Allāh will say (to Ādam), ‘Bring out the Ba'tha (group of the people) of the Fire.’ Ādam عليه السلام will say, ‘What (how many) are the Ba'tha (group) of the Fire?’ Allāh will say, ‘Out of every thousand (take out) nine hundred and ninety-nine (persons).’ At that time a child will become hoary-headed, and every pregnant female will drop her load (have an abortion) and you will see mankind as if in a drunken state, yet they will not be drunken, but severe will be the Torment of Allāh.” That news distressed the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ too much, and they said, “O Allāh's Messenger! Who amongst us will be that man (the lucky one out of one thousand who will be saved from the Fire)?” He said, “Have the good news that one thousand will be from Yājūj and Mājūj (Gog and Magog people), and the one (to be saved will be) from you.”(1) The Prophet ﷺ added, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I hope that you (Muslims) will be one-third of the people of Paradise.” On that, we glorified and praised Allāh and said, “Allāhu-Akbar.” The Prophet ﷺ then said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise, as your (Muslims) example in comparison to ﴿٤٦﴾ the other people (non-Muslims) is like that of a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a round hairless spot on the foreleg of a donkey."
