The effect of the verses of Surah Hajj on the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family).

The Prophet (Imran ibn Husayn) says: The first two verses of this Surah were revealed on one of the nights of the battle with the Banu Al-Mustaliq, who were a group from the Khuza'ah tribe, while the Muslims were moving [towards the battlefield]. The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) called out to the Muslims and they mounted their horses and circled around the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) recited these verses to them and [had such an effect on them that] the Muslims were never seen weeping more than that night. When the night passed [they had become so indifferent to the world and the life of the world that] they had not yet lowered their saddles and pitched a tent, some were weeping and some were sitting sadly and lost in thought. The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said to them: "Do you know what that Day (of Judgment) is?" They said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "That Day is the Day on which Allah revealed to Adam (He says: “Send the people of Hell from among your children to the Fire.” Adam (says): “From which group and how many?” God Almighty says: “Out of every thousand people, nine hundred and ninety-two people to the Fire and one person to Paradise.” This statement was hard on the Muslims and they wept and said: “O Messenger of God (! So who will be saved?”) The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Greetings to you! For among you are Gog and Magog, who will fill whatever they enter; you are among the nations [in terms of number] like a white hair on the [skin] of a black bull, or a bump on the leg of a young cow, or a hollow in the flank of a camel.” Then he said: “I hope that you will be a quarter of the people of Paradise.” The Muslims said: “Allah is Great.” Then he said: “I hope that you will be a third of the people of Paradise.” Then he said: “I hope that you will be two-thirds of the people of Paradise, because the people of Paradise are one hundred and twenty rows, and eighty rows of them are from my nation.” Then he said: “Seventy thousand people from my nation will enter Paradise without being called to account.”
