Sahih al-Bukhari 3348 (Book 60, Hadith 23) #3201
The Hope for Muslims on Judgement Day

SUMMARY: On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will ask Adam to bring out the people of the Fire. Out of every one thousand, nine-hundred-and ninety-nine will be taken out and it is hoped that Muslims will be one fourth, one third or half of the people in Paradise.

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O Adam'. Adam will reply, Labbaik wa Sa'daik', and all the good is in Your Hand'. Allah will say: 'Bring out the people of the fire'. Adam will say: 'O Allah! How many are the people of the Fire?' Allah will reply: 'From every one thousand, take out nine-hundred-and ninety-nine'. At that time children will become hoary headed, every pregnant female will have a miscarriage, and one will see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah". The companions of the Prophet asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is that (excepted) one?" He said, "Rejoice with glad tidings; one person will be from you and one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog". The Prophet further said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, hope that you will be one-fourth of the people of Paradise". We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He added, "I hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise". We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He said, "I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise". We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He further said, "You (Muslims) (compared with non Muslims) are like a black hair in the skin of a white ox or like a white hair in the skin of a black ox (ie your number is very small as compared with theirs).
حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ 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

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow God's commands faithfully & strive hard for salvation

EXPLANATIONS:
On Judgement Day, Allah will ask Adam to bring out all those who are destined for Hellfire. Out of every thousand people, 999 would be taken out and only 1 person would remain in Hellfire. It is then hoped that Muslims would make up a quarter, a third or even half of those who enter Paradise. This hadith gives us hope that despite our small numbers compared to non-Muslims we can still have a chance at entering paradise if we strive hard enough and follow Allah's commands. We should also remember that no matter how small our numbers may seem compared to others', Allah knows best and He has promised us rewards if we stay true to Him and His teachings.
