It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Because of the intercession of a man, who will not even be a prophet, as many people will enter Paradise as the number of individuals in the tribes of Rabi'ah and Mudar, or as many as in one of these tribes. A person asked: O Messenger of Allah! Are Rabi'ah not from among Mudar? He replied: What I have said, I have said.
