nineteenth hadith (19)

According to Ab¬ Sa¡¨d al-Khudr¨, the Prophet, may God give him blessings and

peace, said:

On the Day of Resurrection, God will say: “O Adam!”

He will reply: “Here am I, Lord, at Your service.”

A voice will proclaim: “God commands you to extract from your

progeny a contingent destined for the Fire.”

Adam will ask: “Lord, what may be the contingent destined for

the Fire?”

“From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine, or

thereabouts. 6 ‘Thereupon the pregnant shall miscarry, the young

shall become white-haired [with age] and you shall see men acting

drunkenly. They will not be drunk, but indeed God’s punishment

is terrible.’” 7

This made such a frightening impression on the people that their

faces went pale.

The Prophet, may God give him blessings and peace, then added:

Descending from the people of Gog and Magog there shall be nine

hundred and ninety-nine, whilst from among you only one. Among

men you shall be like black hair on the ¦ank of a white bull, or white

hair on the ¦ank of a black bull. Indeed I hope you will make up

a quarter of the inhabitants of Paradise.

At this we exclaimed “Allåhu akbar!”, and then he said: “One-third

of the people of Paradise.”

At this we exclaimed “Allåhu akbar!”, and he said: “One-half of

the people of Paradise.”

Again we exclaimed “Allåhu akbar!”
