حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا شُرَيْحُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ مَيْمُونٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُضِيفٌ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَی قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ يَمَانٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَکُونُوا رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا بَلَی قَالَ أَفَلَمْ تَرْضَوْا أَنْ تَکُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا بَلَی قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَکُونُوا نِصْفَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6642
Narrated `Abdullah bin Masud: While Allah's Apostle was sitting, reclining his back against a Yemenite leather tent he said to his companions, "Will you be pleased to be one-fourth of the people of Paradise?" They said, 'Yes.' He said "Won't you be pleased to be one-third of the people of Paradise" They said, "Yes." He said, "By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, I hope that you will be one-half of the people of Paradise."
