حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُرَيْحُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ مَيْمُونٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُضِيفٌ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ يَمَانٍ إِذْ قَالَ لأَصْحَابِهِ «أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ». قَالُوا: بَلَى. قَالَ: «أَفَلَمْ تَرْضَوْا أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ». قَالُوا: بَلَى. قَالَ: «فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا نِصْفَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ»

While the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was sitting, reclining his back against a Yemenite leather tent he said to his companions, “Will you be pleased to be one-fourth of the people of Paradise?” They said, ‘Yes.’ He said “Won’t you be pleased to be one-third of the people of Paradise” They said, “Yes.” He said, “By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is, I hope that you will be one-half of the people of Paradise.”

‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু মাস‘ঊদ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এক সময় ইয়ামানী চামড়ার কোন এক তাঁবুতে তাঁর পিঠ হেলান দিয়েছিলেন।

তখন তিনি তাঁর সাহাবীদের প্রতি লক্ষ্য করে বললেনঃ তোমরা জান্নাতীদের এক-চতুর্থাংশ হবে, এতে কি তোমরা সন্তুষ্ট আছ? তাঁরা বললেন, হ্যাঁ। তিনি বললেনঃ তোমরা জান্নাতীদের এক-তৃতীয়াংশ হবে, এতে কি তোমরা সন্তুষ্ট নও!

তাঁরা বললেন, হ্যাঁ। তিনি বললেনঃ যাঁর হাতে মুহাম্মাদ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর প্রাণ শপথ ঐ সত্তার! নিশ্চয়ই আমি কামনা করি তোমরা জান্নাতীদের অর্ধেক হবে। [৬৫২৮]

مجھ سے احمد بن عثمان نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے شریح بن مسلمہ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے ابراہیم نے بیان کیا، ان سے ان کے والد نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابواسحاق نے، کہا کہ میں نے عمرو بن میمون سے سنا، کہا کہ مجھ سے عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ ایک موقع پر رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم جب یمنی چمڑے کے خیمہ سے پشت لگائے ہوئے بیٹھے تھے تو آپ نے اپنے صحابہ سے فرمایا کیا تم اس پر خوش ہو کہ تم اہل جنت کے ایک چوتھائی رہو؟

انہوں نے عرض کیا، کیوں نہیں۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کیا تم اس پر خوش نہیں ہو کہ تم اہل جنت کے ایک تہائی حصہ پاؤ۔ صحابہ نے عرض کیا کیوں نہیں۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اس پر فرمایا، پس اس ذات کی قسم جس کے ہاتھ میں میری جان ہے! مجھے امید ہے کہ جنت میں آدھے تم ہی ہو گے۔

Abdullah İbn Mesud r.a. şöyle buyurmuştur: Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem sırtını deriden yapılmış yemen işi bir direğe yaslamıştı. Ashabına şöyle dedi: "Cennet ehlinin dörtte biri olmayı ister misiniz?" Onlar da: "Evet" dediler. "Peki, üçte biri olmayı ister misiniz?" dedi. Onlar yine "Evet" dediler. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Muhammed'in nefsini elinde bulundurana yemin ederim ki ben sizin cennet ehlinin yarısı olmanızı ümit ediyorum

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting with about forty men of his Companions in a small tent. He asked them: Would you like to be one-fourth the inhabitants of Paradise?

They replied in the affirmative. Then he asked: Would you like to be one-third the inhabitants of Paradise? They again replied in the affirmative. Then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) swore by his Lord and said: I hope that you would be one-half the inhabitants of Paradise, and the other half from the other nations, for no one will enter Paradise except Muslims, so the disbelievers will not enter therein.

He then added that Muslims, compared to the polytheists from all other nations, are very little in number, just like the one single hair of a different color on the hairy skin of an ox.
