3169. Imrān bin Ḥuṣain narrated: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey when some of his Companions fell behind. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ raised his voice reciting these two Āyāt: "O mankind! Have Taqwā of your Lord! Verily the earthquake of the hour is a terrible thing..." up to His saying: but Allāh's torment is severe."[1] When his Companions heard that, they hastened to catch up with him, since they knew that he had something to say. He (ﷺ) said: 'Do you know what Day that is? That is the Day when Ādam will be called. His Lord will call him and say: O Ādam, send forth those who are to be sent to the Fire. He will say: O Lord! How many are to be sent to the Fire? He will say: From every one-thousand there are nine-hundred and ninety-nine for the Fire and one for Paradise. So the people despaired as if they would not smile again. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saw the state of his Companions, he said: 'Strive hard and receive the good news. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muḥammad, you will be counted with two creations who are immense in numbers; Yaʿjūj and Maʿjūj, and those who have died among the progeny of Ādam and the progeny of Iblis.'" He said: "So some of the people's grief went away, and he (ﷺ) said: 'Strive hard and receive the good news. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muḥammad! Among mankind, you are but like the mole on the flank of a camel, or a mark on the foreleg of a beast.” (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣāḥih.
