The Prophet ﷺ said, "On the day of Resurrection Allah will say, 'O Adam!' Adam will reply, 'Labbaik our Lord, and Saʿdaik ' Then there will be a loud call (saying), Allah orders you to take from among your offspring a mission for the (Hell) Fire.' Adam will say, 'O Lord! Who are the mission for the (Hell) Fire?' Allah will say, 'Out of each thousand, take out 999.' At that time every pregnant female shall drop her load (have a miscarriage) and a child will have grey hair. And you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet not drunk, but severe will be the torment of Allah." (22.2) (When the Prophet ﷺ mentioned this), the people were so distressed (and afraid) that their faces got changed (in color) whereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "From Gog and Magog nine-hundred ninety-nine will be taken out and one from you. You Muslims (compared to the large number of other people) will be like a black hair on the side of a white ox, or a white hair on the side of a black ox, and I hope that you will be onefourth of the people of Paradise." On that, we said, "Allahu-Akbar!" Then he said, "I hope that you will be) one-third of the people of Paradise." We again said, "Allahu-Akbar!" Then he said, "(I hope that you will be) one-half of the people of Paradise." So we said, Allahu Akbar."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَا آدَمُ يَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ رَبَّنَا وَسَعْدَيْكَ فَيُنَادَى بِصَوْتٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُخْرِجَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ بَعْثًا إِلَى النَّارِ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ وَمَا بَعْثُ النَّارِ قَالَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ أُرَاهُ قَالَ تِسْعَمِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ فَحِينَئِذٍ تَضَعُ الْحَامِلُ حَمْلَهَا وَيَشِيبُ الْوَلِيدُ {وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكَارَى وَلَكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ} فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ حَتَّى تَغَيَّرَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ تِسْعَمِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ وَمِنْكُمْ وَاحِدٌ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ فِي النَّاسِ كَالشَّعْرَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فِي جَنْبِ الثَّوْرِ الأَبْيَضِ أَوْ كَالشَّعْرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي جَنْبِ الثَّوْرِ الأَسْوَدِ وَإِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَكَبَّرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَكَبَّرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ شَطْرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَكَبَّرْنَا قَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ {تَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكَارَى} وَقَالَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعَمِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ وَقَالَ جَرِيرٌ وَعِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ {سَكْرَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسَكْرَى}  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah will say, 'O Adam!. Adam will reply, 'Labbaik and Saʿdaik (I respond to Your Calls, I am obedient to Your orders), wal Khair fi Yadaik (and all the good is in Your Hands)!' Then Allah will say (to Adam), Bring out the people of the Fire.' Adam will say, 'What (how many) are the people of the Fire?' Allah will say, 'Out of every thousand (take out) nine hundred and ninety-nine (persons).' At that time children will become hoary-headed and every pregnant female will drop her load (have an abortion) and you will see the people as if they were drunk, yet not drunk; But Allah's punishment will be very severe." That news distressed the companions of the Prophet ﷺ too much, and they said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Who amongst us will be that man (the lucky one out of one-thousand who will be saved from the Fire)?" He said, "Have the good news that one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog, and the one (to be saved will be) from you." The Prophet ﷺ added, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I Hope that you (Muslims) will be one third of the people of Paradise." On that, we glorified and praised Allah and said, "Allahu Akbar." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I hope that you will be one half of the people of Paradise, as your (Muslims) example in comparison to the other people (non-Muslims), is like that of a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a round hairless spot on the foreleg of a donkey."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ يَا آدَمُ فَيَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالْخَيْرُ فِي يَدَيْكَ قَالَ يَقُولُ أَخْرِجْ بَعْثَ النَّارِ قَالَ وَمَا بَعْثُ النَّارِ قَالَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعَمِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ فَذَاكَ حِينَ يَشِيبُ الصَّغِيرُ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سَكْرَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسَكْرَى وَلَكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَيُّنَا الرَّجُلُ قَالَ أَبْشِرُوا فَإِنَّ مِنْ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ أَلْفٌ وَمِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي فِي يَدِهِ إِنِّي لأَطْمَعُ أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَحَمِدْنَا اللَّهَ وَكَبَّرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي فِي يَدِهِ إِنِّي لأَطْمَعُ أَنْ تَكُونُوا شَطْرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِنَّ مَثَلَكُمْ فِي الأُمَمِ كَمَثَلِ الشَّعَرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي جِلْدِ الثَّوْرِ الأَسْوَدِ أَوِ الرَّقْمَةِ فِي ذِرَاعِ الْحِمَارِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah, the High and Glorious, would say: O Adam I and he would say: At Thy service, at thy beck and call, O Lord, and the good is in Thy Hand. Allah would say: Bring forth the group of (the denizens of) Fire. He (Adam) would say: Who are the denizens of Hell? It would be said: They are out of every thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It is at this juncture that every child would become white-haired and every pregnant woman would abort and you would see people in a state of intoxication, and they would not be in fact intoxicated but grievous will be the torment of Allah. He (the narrator) said: This had a very depressing effect upon them (upon the companions of the Holy Prophet) and they said: Messenger of Allah, who amongst us would be (that unfortunate) person (who would be doomed to Hell)? He said: Good tidings for you, Yajuj Majuj would be those thousands (who would be the denizens of Hell) and a person (selected for Paradise) would be amongst you. He (the narrator) further reported that he (the Messenger of Allah) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is thy life, I hope that you would constitute one-fourth of the inhabitants of Paradise. We extolled Allah and we glorified (Him). He (the Holy Prophet) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I wish you would constitute one-third of the inhabitants of Paradise. We extolled Allah and Glorified (Him). He (the Holy Prophet) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I hope that you would constitute half of the inhabitants of Paradise. Your likeness among the people is the likeness of a white hair on the skin of a black ox or a strip on the foreleg of an ass.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will say, "O Adam, stand up and send forth the people of Hell!" He will respond, "Here I am, and what is in Your hands, O Lord, is goodness." Allah will ask, "How many people of Hellfire are there?" Adam ﷺ will reply, "From every one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine." Allah will then say, "At that time, even the newly born will have gray hair. And every pregnant woman will miscarry. You will see the people as drunk, even though they are not drunk. But the punishment of Allah is severe." (Surah Al-Hajj, 22:2)

The people will then ask, "Which one of us is that one?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine of every one thousand are from Gog and Magog, and only one is from among you." The people will exclaim, "Allahu Akbar!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ will then say, "By Allah, I hope that you will constitute a quarter of the people of Paradise. By Allah, I hope that you will constitute a third of the people of Paradise. By Allah, I hope that you will constitute half of the people of Paradise." The people will then raise their voices in takbir (saying "Allahu Akbar"). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ will say, "On that day, you will be among the people like a white hair on a black bull, or a black hair on a white bull."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, will say to Adam on the Day of Resurrection, "O Adam, rise up and send forth from your progeny a group to Hellfire." Adam will say, "O Lord, who are the people of Hellfire?" Allah will say, "From every thousand, take nine hundred and ninety-nine and send them to Hellfire, and keep one. At that time, the young will grow old, and every pregnant one will drop her load. And you will see people intoxicated, while they are not intoxicated, but the punishment of Allah is severe." So, this will be difficult for his followers, and they will say, "O Messenger of Allah, from every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine are taken and only one is left. Where will that one be?" He will enter his house, and then come out to them and say, "From Gog and Magog, one thousand, and from you, only one. So, rejoice, for I hope that you will be one-fourth of the people of Paradise." They will say the takbir and praise Allah. He will say, "I hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise." They will say the takbir and praise Allah. He will say, "I hope that you will be one-half of the people of Paradise." They will say the takbir and praise Allah. He will say, "You people are like a white hair on the black ox or a black hair on the white ox among the nations (i.e., you are few compared to other nations).
