3348. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O Ādam.' Ādam will reply, 'Labbaik wa Sa'daik, and all the good is in Your Hand.' Allāh will say: 'Bring out the people of the Fire.' Ādam will say: 'O Allāh! How many are the people of the Fire?' Allāh will reply: 'From every one thousand, take out nine hundred and ninety-nine'. At that time children will become hoary headed. '...Every pregnant one will drop her load, and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet they will not be drunken, but severe will be the Torment of Allāh. (V.22:2).'" The companions of the Prophet ﷺ asked, "O Allāh's Messenger! Who will be that one from us (saved from the Fire)?" He said, "Rejoice with glad tidings; one person will be from you and one thousand will be from Ya'jūj and Ma'jūj (Gog and Magog)." The Prophet ﷺ further said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, I hope that you will be one-fourth of the people of Paradise.” We shouted, “Allāhu Akbar!” He added, “I hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise.” We shouted, “Allāhu Akbar!” He said, “I hope that you will be one-half of the people of Paradise.” We shouted, “Allāhu Akbar!” He further said, “You (Muslims) (compared with non-Muslims) are like a black hair in the skin of a white ox, or like a white hair in the skin of a black ox (i.e., your number is very small as compared with theirs).”
