Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "My Lord has promised me that He will admit one hundred thousand members of my Ummah into Paradise." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Increase it for us." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And like this," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said this while pointing with his blessed hand. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Prophet of Allah! Increase it for us." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And like this." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Abu Bakr! That is enough for you." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Ibn al-Khattab! What business is it of yours with us?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed Allah Almighty has the power to admit all the people into Paradise with a single handful (that is, what is formed by joining both palms)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Umar has spoken rightly."
Ahmad, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, recorded it; its chain is hasan (good).
