English translation

[529] 376 - (221) It was narrated that 'Abdullâh said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to us: 'Would it not please you to be one-quarter of the people of Paradise?' We glorified Allâh (i.e. said Allâhu Akbar in elation), then he said: 'Would it not please you to be one-third of the people of Paradise?' We said Allâhu Akbar, then he said: 'I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise, and I will tell you about that. The Muslims among the disbelievers are like a white hair on a black bull, or like a black hair on a white bull.'"

376 - (221) حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قَالَ: فَكَبَّرْنَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قَالَ: فَكَبَّرْنَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا شَطْرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَسَأُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، مَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي الْكُفَّارِ إِلَّا كَشَعْرَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فِي ثَوْرٍ أَسْوَدَ، أَوْ كَشَعْرَةٍ سَوْدَاءَ فِي ثَوْرٍ أَبْيَضَ»
