الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الْبُوشِيُّ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has promised me that He will admit four hundred thousand people from my Ummah into Paradise." So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Increase it, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And as many," and he joined his palms together. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Abu Bakr! That is enough. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Umar! Leave it, if Allah Almighty admits all of us into Paradise, what burden is it upon you? Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If Allah Almighty wills, He can admit all His creation into Paradise with just one palm. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Umar has spoken the truth." May Allah be pleased with them all.
