1- 1432 – From Abdullaah who said: ‘We were with the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- in a tent and he said:
‘Would you be pleased to be one quarter of the people of Paradise?’
We said: ‘Yes.’
The Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said:
‘Would you be pleased to be one third of the people of Paradise?’
We said: ‘Yes.’
The Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said:
‘Would you be pleased to be one half of the people of Paradise?’
We said: ‘Yes.’
The Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said:
‘I swear by Him in whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad; indeed I hope that you are half the people of Paradise, and that is because none except a Muslim soul will enter Paradise. And you people in relation to the amount of the people of Shirk are like a white hair on the skin of a black bull, or like a black hair on the skin of a red bull.’

The Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said:
‘al-Muhajiroon; they will come on the Day of Judgment to the gate of Paradise, and request for it to be opened, then the gate keeper will say to them: ‘Have you been taken to account for?’
They will say: ‘What should we be taken to account for?! Indeed our swords were upon our shoulders in the path of Allaah until we died upon that.’
