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.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 536:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The first man to be called on the Day of Resurrection will be Adam who will be
shown his offspring, and it will be said to them, ‘This is your father, Adam.’ Adam will say (respond –
ing to the call), ‘Labbaik and Sa’daik’ Then Allah will say (to Adam), ‘Take out of your offspring, the
people of Hell.’ Adam will say, ‘O Lord, how many should I take out?’ Allah will say, ‘Take out ninety-
nine out of every hundred.” They (the Prophet’s companions) said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If ninety-nine

out of every one hundred of us are taken away, what will remain out of us?” He said, “My followers
in comparison to the other nations are like a white hair on a black ox.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 537:
Narrated Abu Said:
The Prophet said, “Allah will say, ‘O Adam!. Adam will reply, ‘Labbaik and Sa’daik (I respond to
Your Calls, I am obedient to Your orders), wal Khair fi Yadaik (and all the good is in Your Hands)!’
Then Allah will say (to Adam), Bring out the people of the Fire.’ Adam will say, ‘What (how many) are
the people of the Fire?’ Allah will say, ‘Out of every thousand (take out) nine-hundred and ninety-
nine (persons).’ At that time children will become hoary-headed and every pregnant female will
drop her load (have an abortion) and you will see the people as if they were drunk, yet not drunk;
But Allah’s punishment will be very severe.”
That news distressed the companions of the Prophet too much, and they said, “O Allah’s Apostle!
Who amongst us will be that man (the lucky one out of one-thousand who will be saved from the
Fire)?” He said, “Have the good news that one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog, and the one (to
be saved will be) from you.” The Prophet added, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I Hope that you
(Muslims) will be one third of the people of Paradise.” On that, we glorified and praised Allah and
said, “Allahu Akbar.” The Prophet then said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I hope that you will
be one half of the people of Paradise, as your (Muslims) example in comparison to the other people
(non-Muslims), is like that of a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a round hairless spot on the
foreleg of a donkey.”

Narrated Abu Huraira :
Allah’s Apostle said, “The people will sweat so profusely on the Day of Resurrection that their
sweat will sink seventy cubits deep into the earth, and it will rise up till it reaches the people’s
mouths and ears.”

cases of blood-shedding. “
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 541:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Whoever has wronged his brother, should ask for his pardon (before his
death), as (in the Hereafter) there will be neither a Dinar nor a Dirham. (He should secure pardon in
this life) before some of his good deeds are taken and paid to his brother, or, if he has done no good
deeds, some of the bad deeds of his brother are taken to be loaded on him (in the Hereafter).”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 542:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The believers, after being saved from the (Hell) Fire, will be stopped at a
bridge between Paradise and Hell and mutual retaliation will be established among them regarding
wrongs they have committed in the world against one another. After they are cleansed and purified
(through the retaliation), they will be admitted into Paradise; and by Him in Whose Hand
Muhammad’s soul is, everyone of them will know his dwelling in Paradise better than he knew his
dwelling in this world.”
