'Abdullah ibne-'Amr Radhiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallain said:
Dajjal will appear in my Ummah and remain for forty; I do not know whether for forty days, or forty months, or forty years. Then Allah will send 'Isa ibne-Maryam 'Alaihis Salam resembling 'Urwah ibne-Mas'ud RadhiyAllahu 'Anh. He will seek out Dajjal and then destroy him. Thereafter, people shall remain for seven years without enmity even between two persons. Then Allah will send a cool breeze from the direction of Syria; whereupon none shall remain upon the face of the earth whose heart has the tiniest particle of Iman, except that his life shall be seized by this breeze. Even if one of you were to enter the innermost recess of a mountain, it (the breeze) would enter even there and seize him. Thereafter, only the most wicked people shall remain who are as unstable as birds (easily startled) with a tendency to wickedness with the intelligence of beasts of prey (who have little intelligence and show violence and anger), neither knowing right nor objecting to evil. Then Shaitan will appear to them and say: Will you not comply to my command? They will say: What do you command us? He will then order them to worship idols (and they will obey him). Abundant sustenance will be granted to them and apparently, they will enjoy a good and luxurious life.
Then the Trumpet will be blown; and everyone who hears it will bend one side of his neck, and raise the other, listening attentively. The first to hear it will be a man plastering a water tank for his camels. Then he will collapse senseless, and die and so will all the people with him. Then Allah will send down rain resembling dew, causing the bodies of the people to sprout like plants from the earth. Thereafter the Trumpet will be blown a second time, and the people will rise looking around. Then it will be said: O people! Hasten towards your Rabb! The angels will be told to restrain them for they are to be questioned. Command then will be given to bring forth those who are to go to Hell and when they asked what proportion is to be brought forth, they will be told it is nine hundred and ninety nine out of every thousand. That will be a day which will make children grey haired; and that is the day when the Shin will be bared. (Muslim)

In another narration it is stated: Hearing that nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine out of a thousand will he doomed to the Fire (of Hell), the Sahabah were deeply grieved and it showed on their faces. Then Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine will be from Yajuj Majuj (Gog and Magog) and one from you. (Bukhari)

Translation taken from Muntakhab Ahadeeth.

Oooh!!! Jazakallahu khair! This is the answer!

And why is this fair? The hint he gave was "Yajuj and Majuj."

I understand the point the imam was making however, I don't think it was wise to link the high numbers in hell with fairness/unfairness.

The fact is, those who go to hell, will go due to either disbelief or sin - these matters rests on the shoulders of the individual alone. If a person is to fail in that responsibility, he would have only himself to blame. To bring fairness into this issue implies the people going to hell did not do anything to deserve it when that is incorrect.

Allah is also Most Just. Hence, on the day of judgement, all unjust and sinful acts will be rewarded with a punishment.
