وعن ابن مسعود

رضي الله عنه، قال: كنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في قبة نحوا من أربعين، فقال: «أترضون أن تكونوا ربع أهل الجنة؟ «قلنا نعم، قال: أترضون أن تكونوا ثلث أهل الجنة؟ قلنا: نعم، قال: «والذي نفسى محمد بيده إني لأرجو أن تكونوا نصف أهل الجنة، وذلك أن الجنة لا يدخلها إلا نفس مسلمة، وما أنتم في أهل الشرك إلا كالشعرة البيضاء في جلد الثور الأسود، أو كالشعرة السوداء في جلد الثور الأحمر»

There were, about forty of us with Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in a camp when he said, “Aren’t you pleased that you will constitute one-fourth of the inhabitants of Jannah?”

We said, “Yes”. He again said, “Aren’t you pleased that you will constitute one-third of the inhabitants of Jannah?”. We said: “Yes.” Upon this he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is, I hope that you will constitute one-half of the inhabitants of Jannah; and the reason is that only Muslims will be admitted into Jannah; and you are no more compared to the polytheists than as a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a black hair on the skin of a white ox.”.
