Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "A day that will turn children grey-haired." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That will be the Day of Resurrection, and on that day Allah Almighty will say to Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him): 'Rise and send a party of your offspring to Hell.' He will say: 'O my Lord! How many out of how many?' The Lord will say: 'Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand, and one will be saved.'" This weighed heavily on the Muslims. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recognised this state of theirs; then, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw it on their faces, he said: "The children of Adam are many, and Ya'juj and Ma'juj are also among the children of Adam. Not one of them will die until a thousand of his own offspring inherit from him. So in them and in others like them there is a shield for you."
Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Uthman bin Ata' al-Khurasani, who is matruk (abandoned); the majority declared him da'if (weak), and Abu Hatim considered his hadith hasan (good).
