حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَوْ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ " فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: زِدْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " وَهَكَذَا " وَجَمَعَ كَفَّهُ، قَالَ: زِدْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " وَهَكَذَا "، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ حَسْبُكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: دَعْنِي يَا عُمَرُ، وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَنَا اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ كُلَّنَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ اللهَ إِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَ خَلْقَهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِكَفٍّ وَاحِدٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " صَدَقَ، ، عُمَرُ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah Almighty has promised me that He will admit four hundred thousand people from my Ummah into Paradise. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Increase this number." The Prophet (ﷺ) joined his palms together and said, "This many more will be added." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) again submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Increase this number." The Prophet (ﷺ) again joined his palms together and said, "This many more will be added." Upon this, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Abu Bakr! That is enough." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Umar! Step back. If Allah Almighty admits all of us into Paradise completely, there is no harm for you in it." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If Allah wills, He can admit all creation into Paradise in a single handful." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Umar speaks the truth."
