حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَا آدَمُ. فَيَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالْخَيْرُ فِي يَدَيْكَ. فَيَقُولُ أَخْرِجْ بَعْثَ النَّارِ. قَالَ وَمَا بَعْثُ النَّارِ قَالَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعَمِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ، فَعِنْدَهُ يَشِيبُ الصَّغِيرُ، وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا، وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَى، وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكَارَى، وَلَكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ ". قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَيُّنَا ذَلِكَ الْوَاحِدُ قَالَ " أَبْشِرُوا فَإِنَّ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ، وَمِنْ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ أَلْفٌ ". ثُمَّ قَالَ " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ". فَكَبَّرْنَا. فَقَالَ " أَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ". فَكَبَّرْنَا. فَقَالَ " أَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا نِصْفَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ". فَكَبَّرْنَا. فَقَالَ " مَا أَنْتُمْ فِي النَّاسِ إِلاَّ كَالشَّعَرَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فِي جِلْدِ ثَوْرٍ أَبْيَضَ، أَوْ كَشَعَرَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فِي جِلْدِ ثَوْرٍ أَسْوَدَ ".
Ishaq ibn Nasr narrated to me: Abu Usama narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash: Abu Salih narrated to us, from Abu Saʿid al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: ‘Allah Most High will say, “Adam.” He will answer, “At Your service; all good is in Your hands.” He will say, “Bring forth the contingent of the Fire.” Adam will ask, “What is the contingent of the Fire?” He will say, “From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine.” At that, the young will turn gray, every pregnant woman will deliver her burden, and you will see people as if drunk, though they are not drunk; rather, Allah’s punishment is severe.’ They asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, who among us is that one?’ He said, ‘Rejoice: one man will be from among you, and a thousand from Gog and Magog.’ Then he said: ‘By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I hope you will be a quarter of the people of Paradise.’ We proclaimed Allah’s greatness. He said: ‘I hope you will be a third of the people of Paradise.’ We proclaimed Allah’s greatness. He said: ‘I hope you will be half of the people of Paradise.’ We proclaimed Allah’s greatness. He said: ‘Among all people, you are only like a black hair on the hide of a white bull, or a white hair on the hide of a black bull.’”
