English translation

[530] 377 - (...) It was narrated that 'Abdullâh said: "We were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ in a tent, and there were nearly forty men present. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Would it please you to be one-quarter of the people of Paradise?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Would it please you to be one-third of the people of Paradise?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muḥammad! I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise. And that is because no one will enter Paradise but a Muslim soul, and among the people of Shirk 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.”

Arabic text

377 - (221) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قُبَّةٍ نَحْوًا مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا، فَقَالَ: «أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قَالَ: قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: «أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» فَقُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا نِصْفَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَذَاكَ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ، وَمَا أَنْتُمْ فِي أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ إِلَّا كَالشَّعْرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي جِلْدِ الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ، أَوْ كَالشَّعْرَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فِي جِلْدِ الثَّوْرِ الْأَحْمَرِ»
