حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِسْحَاق الْجَوْهَرِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ , عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ عِشْرُونَ وَمِائَةُ , صَفٍّ ثَمَانُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ , وَأَرْبَعُونَ مِنْ سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ " .

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
In another hadith, it is stated that, in comparison to you, the number of others will be like a single black hair on a white ox (Hadith: 4283).
This comparison is with the polytheists.
And the two-thirds proportion is only in relation to the people of Paradise.
➋
This demonstrates the honor of the Ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
However, merely being a member of the Ummah is not sufficient for salvation; correct faith and correct deeds are also necessary.
