عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُنِي مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ“ قَالَ فَكَبَّرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ”أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ النَّاسِ“ قَالَ فَكَبَّرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ”أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونُوا الشَّطْرَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: I hope that those who follow me from my Ummah will be one fourth of all the people of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, says: Upon hearing this, we said Allahu Akbar with joy. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I hope that my followers will be one third of the people of Paradise. Upon hearing this, we again said Allahu Akbar with joy. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I hope that my followers will be half of the total number of the people of Paradise.
