Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: There were about forty of us with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in a tent when he said: "Would it please you to be one-fourth of the inhabitants of Paradise?" We said: 'Yes.' He said: "Would it please you to be one-third of the inhabitants of Paradise?" We said: 'Yes.' Thereupon he said: "By the One in Whose hand Muhammad's soul is!

I hope that you would be one-half of the inhabitants of Paradise; for none shall enter Paradise except a Muslim soul, and you, compared to the polytheists, are no more than a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a black hair on the skin of a red ox."

Source textOriginal Arabic
عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: كنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في قُبَّةٍ نحوا من أربعين، فقال: «أترضون أن تكونوا ربع أهل الجنة؟» قلنا: نعم، قال: «أترضون أن تكونوا ثلث أهل الجنة؟» قلنا: نعم، قال: «والذي نفس محمد بيده، إني لأرجو أن تكونوا نصف أهل الجنة وذلك أن الجنة لا يدخلها إلا نفس مسلمة، وما أنتم في أهل الشرك إلا كالشعرة البيضاء في جلد الثور الأسود، أو كالشعرة السوداء في جلد الثور الأحمر».
