حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ شُعْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي قُبَّةٍ، نَحْوٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ، فَقَالَ: أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا نِصْفَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَذَاكَ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ، وَمَا أَنْتُمْ فِي الشِّرْكِ إِلَّا كَالشَّعْرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي جِلْدِ ثَوْرٍ أَسْوَدَ، أَوِ السَّوْدَاءِ فِي جِلْدِ ثَوْرٍ أَحْمَرَ.

✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ in a tent, about forty of us. He said: Would you be pleased to be a quarter of the people of Paradise? We said: Yes. He said: Would you be pleased to be a third of the people of Paradise? We said: Yes. He said: By the One in whose hand is my soul, I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise. That is because Paradise is entered only by a Muslim soul, and you among the polytheists are but like a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a black hair on the skin of a red ox.
