Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, the very first to be called will be Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him), and he will look at his offspring. It will be said to them: This is your father Adam (peace be upon him). (Allah, the Exalted, will call out to Adam, peace be upon him.) He will say: Here I am, here I am! Allah, the Exalted, will say: Separate from your offspring those who are to enter Hell." He will ask: O my Lord! How many should I separate? Allah, the Exalted, will say: From every hundred, separate ninety-nine (for Hell)." The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! When ninety-nine out of every hundred of us will be taken (for Hell), then what will remain? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (comforting them) said: "The number of my Ummah among the other nations will be like the white hair on the back of a black ox."
