[481] 328 (...). It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "A bowl of Thareed and meat was placed before the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he took the foreleg, which was the part of the sheep that he liked best, and took a bite, then he said: 'I will be the leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection.' Then he took another bite and said: 'I will be the leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection.' When he saw that his Companions were not asking about that, he said: 'Are you not going to ask me how?' They said: 'How will that be, O Messenger of Allâh?' He said: 'The people will stand before the Lord of the Worlds...' And he (the narrator) quoted a Hadîth of Abû Hayyân from Abû Zur'ah (no.480), and he added with regard to Ibrâhîm - ﷺ: "He mentioned his saying concerning the stars: 'This is my Lord,' and his saying concerning their idols, 'The biggest one of them did it,' and his saying, 'I am sick.'" Then he (ﷺ) said: "By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, the distance between the sides of two of the gates of Paradise and the two gate-posts is like the distance between Makkah and Hajar, or Hajar and Makkah."
