English translation

4283. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh said: "We were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ in a tent, and he said: 'Will it not please you to be one quarter of the people of Paradise?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Will it not please you to be one third of the people of Paradise?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise. For no one will enter Paradise but a Muslim soul, and among the people of polytheism you are like a white hair on the hide of a black bull, or like a black hair on the hide of a red bull.”’ (Sahih)

4283 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قُبَّةٍ، فَقَالَ: «أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» ، قُلْنَا: بَلَى، قَالَ: «أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» ، قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا نِصْفَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ، وَمَا أَنْتُمْ فِي أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ إِلَّا كَالشَّعَرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ، فِي جِلْدِ الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ، أَوْ كَالشَّعَرَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ، فِي جِلْدِ الثَّوْرِ الْأَحْمَرِ»

Commentary

The benefit of granting good news gradually; from small blessings to great blessings is to increase the joy repeatedly. In addition, by this way one values the blessings he has. The nation of the Prophet ﷺ, will live longer, and the people of this nation will be more than the people of other nations, so they will be in greater numbers in Paradise.
