Husain bin 'Abdur-Rahman said: "I was with Sa'eed bin Jubair and he said: 'Who among you saw the shooting star last night?' I said: 'I did.' Then I said: 'I was not praying, but I was stung (by a scorpion).' He said: 'What did you do?' I said: 'I asked someone to recite Ruqyah for me.' He said: 'What made you do that?' I said: 'A Hadith which Ash-Sha'bi narrated .to us.' He said: 'What did Ash-Sha'bi narrate to you?' I said: 'He narrated to us that Buraidah bin Husaib Al-Aslami said: "There should be no Ruqyah except for the evil eye or a sting.'" He said: 'He who acts according to what he has heard (from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)) has done well, but Ibn 'Abbas narrated to us that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "The nations were shown to me and I saw a Prophet with a group of men, a Prophet with one or two men, and a Prophet accompanied by no one. Then a huge crowd was shown to me, and I thought that they were my Ummah, but it was said to me: 'This is Musil and his people. But look at the horizon.' I looked, and there was a huge crowd. Then it was said to me: 'Look at the other horizon,' and there was (another) huge crowd. It was said to me: 'This is your Ummah, and among them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being called to account or punished.'" Then he got up and went into his house, and the people started discussing those who would enter Paradise without being called to account or being punished. Some of them said: "Perhaps they are the ones who always attended to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)." Some said: "Perhaps they are those who were born in Islam and did not associate anything with Allah." And they mentioned several ideas. Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came out and said: "What are you discussing?" They told him, and he said: "They are the ones who did not perform Ruqyah nor ask others to do so, and did not follow omens, and upon their Lord did they rely." 'Ukkashah bin Mihsan stood up and said: "Pray to Allah to make me one of them." He said: "You will be one of them." Another man stood up and said: "Pray to Allah to make me one of them." He said: " 'Ukkashah has surpassed you to it."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to us: 'Would it not please you to be one-quarter of the people of Paradise?' We glorified Allah (i.e. said Allahu Akbar in elation), then he said: 'Would it not please you to be one-third of the people of Paradise?' We said Allahu Akbar, then he said: 'I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise, and I will tell you about that. The Muslims among the disbelievers are like a white hair on a black bull, or like a black hair on a white bull."'

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ فَكَبَّرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَكَبَّرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا شَطْرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَسَأُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ مَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي الْكُفَّارِ إِلَّا كَشَعْرَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فِي ثَوْرٍ أَسْوَدَ أَوْ كَشَعْرَةٍ سَوْدَاءَ فِي ثَوْرٍ أَبْيَضَ.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) in a tent, and there were nearly forty men present. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Would it please you to be one-quarter 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: 'By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise. And that is because no one will enter Paradise but a Muslim soul, and among the people of Shirk you are like a white hair on the hide of a black bull, or like a black hair on the hide of a red bull."'

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قُبَّةٍ نَحْوًا مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا نِصْفَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَذَاكَ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ وَمَا أَنْتُمْ فِي أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ إِلَّا كَالشَّعْرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي جِلْدِ الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ أَوْ كَالشَّعْرَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فِي جِلْدِ الثَّوْرِ الْأَحْمَرِ.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) addressed us and leaned his back against a leather tent. He said: 'No one will enter Paradise but a Muslim soul. O Allah, have I conveyed (the message)? O Allah, bear witness! Would you like to be one-quarter of the people of Paradise?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'Would you like to be one-third of the people of Paradise?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise, for among other nations you are like a black hair on a white bull, or like a white hair on a black bull."'

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْنَدَ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى قُبَّةِ أَدَمٍ فَقَالَ أَلَا لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ أَتُحِبُّونَ أَنَّكُمْ رُبُعُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَتُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا شَطْرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِي سِوَاكُمْ مِنْ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا كَالشَّعْرَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الْأَبْيَضِ أَوْ كَالشَّعْرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ.

It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will say: "O Adam." He will say: "Here I am at Your service, all goodness is in Your Hand." (Allah) will say: "Bring forth the portion of Hell." He will say: "What is the portion of Hell?" He will say: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand." That is when every child will turn grey and every pregnant one will drop her load, and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet they will not be drunken, but severe will be the torment of Allah.' That distressed them, and they said: 'O Messenger of Allah, which of us will be that man?' He said: 'Be of good cheer, for there will be a thousand from among Ya'juj and Ma'juj, and one man from among you.' Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! I hope that you will be one-quarter of the people of Paradise.' We (praised Allah and) said (Allahu Akbar). Then he said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! I hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise.' We praised Allah and said (Allahu Akbar). Then he said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise. Your likeness among the nations is that of a white hair on the hide of a black bull or the mark on the foreleg of a donkey."'

It was narrated from Al-A'mash with this chain (a similar Hadith as no. 532), except that they said: "On that Day you will be among the people like a white hair on a black bull or like a black hair on a white bull," and they did not mention: "Like the mark on the foreleg of a donkey."
