Volume 8, Book 76, Number 535:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
While we were in the company of the Prophet in a tent he said, ”Would it please you to be one
fourth 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, “Would it please you to be half of the people of
Paradise?” We said, “Yes.” Thereupon he said, “I hope that you will be one half of the people of Para –
dise, for none will enter Paradise but a Muslim soul, and you people, in comparison to the people
who associate others in worship with Allah, are like a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a black
hair on the skin of a red ox.”
