حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ مَنْ يَتَّب
ِعُنِي مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رُبْعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَكَبَّرْنَا قَالَ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَكَبَّرْنَا قَالَ أَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا الشَّطْرَ

Rawh narrated to us, Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, Abu al-Zubayr informed me that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah (رضي الله عنهما) saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'I hope that those who follow me from my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection will be one-quarter of the people of Paradise.' We exclaimed 'Allahu Akbar!' He then said: 'I hope they will be one-third of the people of Paradise.' We exclaimed 'Allahu Akbar!' He then said: 'I hope they will be half of the people of Paradise.' We exclaimed 'Allahu Akbar!'
