Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Ummah is a blessed Ummah; Allah the Exalted has made its punishment in its own hands. When the Day of Resurrection comes, for every Muslim a man from the people of other religions will be given, who will become a ransom for him from Hell."
