حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ - بَيَّاعِ الْمُلَاءِ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَقَلِيلٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ} [الواقعة: ١٤] ، شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَنَزَلَتْ {ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ} [الواقعة: ٣٩] ، فَقَالَ: " أَنْتُمْ ثُلُثُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، بَلْ أَنْتُمْ نِصْفُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَتُقَاسِمُونَهُمُ النِّصْفَ الْبَاقِي " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from 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 (ﷺ) said: "You will be a third of all the people of Paradise, rather half, and in the remaining half, they will be your partners."
