So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said, He (i.e. the Prophet, ) gives the chief of Najd and does not give us. The Prophet said, I give them) so as to attract their hearts (to Islam). Then a man with sunken eyes, prominent checks, a raised forehead, a thick beard and a shaven head, came (in front of the Prophet ) and said, Be afraid of Allah, O Muhammad! The Prophet ' said Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) Allah has trusted all the people of the earth to me while, you do not trust me? Somebody who, I think was Khalid bin Al-Walid, requested the Prophet to let him chop that man's head off, but he prevented him. When the man left, the Prophet said, Among the off-spring of this man will be some who will recite the Qur'an but the Qur'an will not reach beyond their throats (i.e. they will recite like parrots and will not understand it nor act on it), and they will renegade from the religion as an arrow goes through the game's body. They will kill the Muslims but will not disturb the idolaters. If I should live up to their time' I will kill them as the people of 'Ad were killed (i.e. I will kill all of them).

Read More..Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O Adam.' Adam will reply, 'Labbaik wa Sa`daik', and all the good is in Your Hand.' Allah will say: 'Bring out the people of the fire.' Adam will say: 'O Allah! How many are the people of the Fire?' Allah will reply: 'From every one thousand, take out nine-hundred-and ninety-nine.' At that time children will become hoary headed, every pregnant female will have a miscarriage, and one will see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah. The companions of the Prophet asked, O Allah's Apostle! Who is that (excepted) one? He said, Rejoice with glad tidings; one person will be from you and one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog. The Prophet further said, By Him in Whose Hands my life is, hope that you will be one-fourth of the people of Paradise. We shouted, Allahu Akbar! He added, I hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise. We shouted, Allahu Akbar! He said, I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise. We shouted, Allahu Akbar! He further said, You (Muslims) (compared with non Muslims) are like a black hair in the skin of a white ox or like a white hair in the skin of a black ox (i.e. your number is very small as compared with theirs).
