[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey when the verse was revealed: "O people, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing" [Surah Al-Hajj: 1]. Abdullah ibn Ahmad said, "A word came to my father that made him stop, and the people also stopped. He asked, 'Do you know what day this is?' They replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' It was revealed to my father that the word that came to him was: 'O Adam, send forth the inhabitants of the Fire.' My father asked, 'What is the inhabitants of the Fire?' It was said, 'Ninety-nine out of every thousand are the inhabitants of the Fire.' Then, they cried. He said, 'Get close and strive to be among the nations, for you are like a black hair on the skin. I hope that you will be one quarter of the people of Paradise. I hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise.'"

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَزَلَتْ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ} [الحج 1] قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ سَقَطَتْ عَلَى أَبِي كَلِمَةٌ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَقَفَ النَّاسُ قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَيَّ يَوْمٍ ذَاكَ؟ قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ سَقَطَتْ عَلَى أَبِي كَلِمَةٌ يَقُولُ يَا آدَمُ ابْعَثْ بَعْثَ النَّارِ قَالَ وَمَا بَعْثُ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعَمِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ إِلَى النَّارِ قَالَ فَبَكَوْا قَالَ قَارِبُوا وَسَدِّدُوا مَا أَنْتُمْ فِي الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا كَالرَّقْمَةِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوارُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, recited this verse and his companions were with him: "O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing" (Quran 22:1) until the end of the verse. Then he said, "Do you know which day that is?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "That is the day when Allah will say to Adam, 'Arise and send forth the people to the Fire,' or He will say, 'Send forth to the Fire.' Adam will say, 'O Lord, how many are to be sent forth?' Allah will say, 'Out of every thousand, take nine hundred and ninety-nine to the Fire and one to Paradise.' That will be a day of difficulty for the people, and they will fall into despair and sorrow." The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "I hope that you will be one half of the people of Paradise." They rejoiced at this. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "Work and be happy, for you are between the two creations - the people of Gog and Magog - and there has never been anyone whom they did not outnumber. Verily, you are like a black hair on a white ox, or like a speck on a pale camel. Indeed, my nation is a portion from among a thousand portions."
