حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ بَيَّاعِ الْمُلَاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ : ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الأَوَّلِينَ وَقَلِيلٌ مِنَ الآخِرِينَ سورة الواقعة آية 13 - 14 ، شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَنَزَلَتْ : ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الأَوَّلِينَ وَثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الآخِرِينَ سورة الواقعة آية 39 - 40 ، فَقَالَ : " أَنْتُمْ ثُلُثُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ، بَلْ أَنْتُمْ نِصْفُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَتُقَاسِمُونَهُمْ النِّصْفَ الْبَاقِي " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: "A multitude from the former peoples and a few from the later peoples," this was very hard on the Muslims (that only a few from the latter people would be destined for Paradise). Then this verse was revealed: that there will be a group from the former and a group from the latter. And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will be a third of all the people of Paradise, rather half, and in the remaining half, they will be your partners."
