It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will send a caller who will announce: O Adam! Allah commands you to send the portion of Hell from among your offspring towards Hell. Adam (peace be upon him) will say: O Lord! From how many, how many? It will be said to him: Send ninety-nine out of every hundred towards Hell. Upon hearing this, a companion said: O Messenger of Allah! Who will be the one to attain salvation? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know, on that day your number among the people will be like the mark on the chest of a camel.
