I was with Sa'id b. Jubair when he said: Who amongst you saw a star shooting last night? I said: It was I; then I said: I was in fact not (busy) in prayer, but was stung by a scorpion (and that is the reason why I was awake and had a glimpse of the shooting star). He said: Then what did you do? I said: I practised charm. He said: What urged you to do this? I said: (I did this according to the implied suggestion) of the hadith which al-Shu'ba narrated. He said: What did al-Shu'ba narrate to you? I said: Buraida b. Husaib al-Aslami narrated to us. The charm is of no avail except in case of the (evil influence) of an eye or the sting of a scorpion. He said: He who acted according to what he had heard (from the Holy Prophet) acted rightly, but Ibn 'Abbas narrated to us from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said: There were brought before me the peoples and I saw an apostle and a small group (of his followers) along with him, another (apostle) and one or two persons (along with him) and (still another) apostle having no one with him. When a very large group was brought to me I conceived as if it were my Ummah. Then it was said to me: It is Moses and his people. You should look at the horizon, and I saw a very huge group. It was again said to me: See the other side of the horizon, and there was (also) a very huge group. It was said to me: This is your Ummah, and amongst them there were seventy thousand persons who would be made to enter Paradise without rendering any account and without (suffering) any torment. He then stood up and went to his house. Then the people began to talk about the people who would be admitted to Paradise without rendering any account and without (suffering) any torment. Some of them said: They may be those who (have had the good fortune of living) in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and some of them said: They be those who were born in Islam and did not associate anything with Allah. Some people mentioned other things. Thereupon came forth the Messenger of Allah ﷺ before them and he said: What was that which you were talking about? They informed him. He said: They are those persons who neither practise charm, nor ask others to practise it, nor do they take omens, and repose their trust in their Lord. Upon this 'Ukkasha b. Mihsan stood up and said: Supplicate for me that He should make me one among them. Upon this he (Messenger of Allah) said: Thou are one among them. Then another man stood up and said: Supplicate before Allah that He should make me one among them. Upon this he said: 'Ukkisha has preceded you.

[Machine] Most of us were talking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night, and then we went to him the next morning. He said, "The prophets were presented to me last night with their nations. The Prophet ﷺ walked by with a group of people, then the Prophet ﷺ walked by with a smaller group, and then the Prophet ﷺ walked by alone, and there was no one with him until Musa walked by with a group from the children of Israel. They amazed me so I asked, 'Who are these?'" I was told, "These are your nation, O Messenger of Allah, and these are the children of Israel." I said, "Where is my nation?" I was told, "Look to your right." So I looked and the horizon was filled with the faces of men. Then I was told, "Look to your left." So I looked and the horizon was filled with the faces of men. Then I was asked, "Are you pleased?" I said, "I am pleased, O Lord, I am pleased, O Lord." It was said to me, "Among these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being brought to account." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I wish that you, O Abu Umaamah and your mother, may be among them. If you can, be one of the seventy thousand. If you cannot, then be one of the people of the horizon. And if you cannot, then be one of the people of the outskirts." I have seen people who argue with one another, then 'Ukkashah bin Mihsan stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of the seventy thousand." So he prayed for him. Then another man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of them." He said, "Ukkashah has beaten you to it." Then we asked, "Who are these seventy thousand people?" He said, "They are those who neither seek rukiyah (charms) nor do they believe in bad omens and they put their trust in their Lord."  

أَكْثَرْنَا الْحَدِيثَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ثُمَّ غَدَوْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ اللَّيْلَةَ بِأُمَمِهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ يَمُرُّ وَمَعَهُ الثَّلَاثَةُ وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ الْعِصَابَةُ وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ النَّفَرُ وَالنَّبِيُّ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى مَرَّ عَلَيَّ مُوسَى مَعَهُ كَبْكَبَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَعْجَبُونِي فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ فَقِيلَ لِي هَذَا أَخُوكَ مُوسَى مَعَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ أُمَّتِي؟ فَقِيلَ لِيَ انْظُرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا الظِّرَابُ قَدْ سُدَّ بِوُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِيَ انْظُرْ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا الْأُفُقُ قَدْ سُدَّ بِوُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ فَقِيلَ لِي أَرَضِيتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ رَضِيتُ يَا رَبِّ رَضِيتُ يَا رَبِّ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لِي إِنَّ مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِدًا لَكُمْ أَبِيوَأُمِّي إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مِنَ السَّبْعِينَ الْأَلْفِ فَافْعَلُوا فَإِنْ قَصَّرْتُمْ فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الظِّرَابِ فَإِنْ قَصَّرْتُمْ فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأُفُقِ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ثَمَّ نَاسًا يَتَهَاوَشُونَ فَقَامَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ فَقَالَ ادْعُ اللهَ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنَ السَّبْعِينَ فَدَعَا لَهُ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ ادْعُ اللهَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَحَدَّثْنَا فَقُلْنَا مَنْ تَرَوْنَ هَؤُلَاءِ السَّبْعُونَ الْأَلْفُ؟ قَوْمٌ وُلِدُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لَمْ يُشْرِكُوا بِاللهِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى مَاتُوا؟ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَكْتَوُونَ وَلَا يَسْتَرْقُونَ وَلَا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The nations were presented to me, and I saw a Prophet accompanied by a group, a Prophet accompanied by one man, and a Prophet with no one accompanying him. Then a huge group was raised before me, so I asked if they were my nation. It was said, 'This is Musa (Moses) and his people, but look at the horizon.' So I looked and saw another huge group. Then it was said to me, 'Look at the other side.' And there was another huge group. It was said to me, 'Your nation, along with them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being held accountable or experiencing punishment.' Then the Prophet ﷺ got up and entered. The people began to discuss and ask, 'Who are those who will enter Paradise without being held accountable?' Some said, 'Perhaps they are those who accompanied the Prophet ﷺ .' Others said, 'Perhaps they are those who were born in Islam and never associated partners with Allah and mentioned certain virtues.' The Prophet ﷺ came out to them and asked, 'What are you discussing?' They informed him of what they were saying. He said, 'They are those who do not seek cauterization, do not ask for omens, and do not believe in evil omens. They rely solely on their Lord.' Then 'Ukkashah bin Mihsan Al-Asadi stood up and asked, 'Am I among them, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Yes, you are among them.' Then another man stood up and asked, 'Am I among them, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'Ukkashah beat you to it.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأُمَمُ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ وَمَعَهُ رَهْطٌ وَالنَّبِيَّ وَمَعَهُ رَجُلٌ وَالنَّبِيَّ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ إِذْ رُفِعَ لِي سَوَادٌ عَظِيمٌ فَقُلْتُ هَذِهِ أُمَّتِي؟ فَقِيلَ هَذَا مُوسَى وَقَوْمُهُ وَلَكِنِ انْظُرْ إِلَى الْأُفُقِ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا سَوَادٌ عَظِيمٌ ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِي انْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ فَإِذَا سَوَادٌ عَظِيمٌ فَقِيلَ لِي أُمَّتُكَ وَمَعَهُمْ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ» ثُمَّ نَهَضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ فَخَاضَ الْقَوْمُ فِي ذَلِكَ وَقَالُوا مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمُ الَّذِينَ صَحِبُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمُ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَمْ يُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ قَطُّ وَذَكَرُوا أَشْيَاءَ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ تَخُوضُونَ فِيهِ؟ » فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ «هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَكْتَوُونَ* وَلَا يَسْتَرْقُونَ وَلَا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ» فَقَامَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ فَقَالَ أَنَا مِنْهُمُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ» ثُمَّ قَامَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ أَنَا مِنْهُمُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ»  

[Machine] One night, we were talking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until the conversation became too long. When we woke up in the morning, we went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "The prophets were presented to me with their followers from their nations. Sometimes the prophet ﷺ had a group of his nation with him, and sometimes the prophet ﷺ was alone. Allah informed you about the people of Lot and said, 'Is there not from among you a guiding man?' I said, 'O Lord, so where are my people?' He said, 'Look to your right.' So I looked and saw the Thirab of Mecca being filled with the faces of men. He said, 'Are you satisfied, O Muhammad?' I said, 'I am satisfied, O Lord.' He said, 'Look to your left.' So I looked and saw the horizon being filled with the faces of men. He said, 'Are you satisfied, O Muhammad?' I said, 'I am satisfied, O Lord.' He said, 'Indeed, with these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being held to account.' Then 'Ukkashah ibn Mihsan al-Asadi came and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to include me among them.' He said, 'O Allah, include 'Ukkashah among them.' Then another man stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to include me among them.' He said, 'You have been preceded by 'Ukkashah.' Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them, 'If you can, be my father and mother's servants, then be among the seventy thousand. But if you are unable and fall short, then be among the people of the Thirab. But if you are unable and fall short, then be among the people of the horizon. I have seen people who have quarreled a lot.' Then he said, 'I hope that those who follow me from my nation will be a quarter of Paradise.' The people then said takbir. He then recited the verse, 'A group from the former [generations] and a few from the later [generations].'" They then started discussing among themselves who these seventy thousand were. Some of them said, "They are a group who were born into Islam and died upon it." The hadith was then elevated to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "They are those who do not practice Ruqyah, nor do they believe in bad omens, and they trust in Allah."  

تَحَدَّثْنَا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أَكْرَانَا الْحَدِيثُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا غَدَوْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ بِأَتْبَاعِهَا مِنْ أُمَّتِهَا فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَعَهُ الثُّلَّةُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ وَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ وَقَدْ أَنْبَأَكُمُ اللهُ عَنْ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ فَقَالَ {أَلَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَشِيدٌ} قَالَ حَتَّى مَرَّ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ﷺ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ فَأَيْنَ أُمَّتِي؟ قَالَ انْظُرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ فَإِذَا الظِّرَابُ ظِرَابُ مَكَّةَ قَدْ سُدَّ مِنْ وُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ قَالَ أَرَضِيتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ؟ قُلْتُ رَضِيتُ رَبِّ قَالَ انْظُرْ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا الْأُفُقُ قَدْ سُدَّ مِنْ وُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ قَالَ أَرَضِيتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ؟ قُلْتُ رَضِيتُ رَبِّ قَالَ فَإِنَّ مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ فَأَتَى عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مِنْهُمْ» ثُمَّ قَامَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ «سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَأُمِّي أَنْ تَكُونُوا مِنَ السَّبْعِينَ فَكُونُوا فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمْ وَقَصَّرْتُمْ فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الظِّرَابِ فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمْ وَقَصَّرْتُمْ فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْأُفُقِ؛ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ أُنَاسًا يَتَهَاوَشُونَ كَثِيرًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُنِي مِنْ أُمَّتِي رُبْعَ الْجَنَّةِ» فَكَبَّرَ الْقَوْمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ شَطْرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» فَكَبَّرَ الْقَوْمُ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَقَلِيلٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ} فَتَذَاكَرُوا بَيْنَهُمْ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ السَّبْعُونَ الْأَلْفِ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ قَوْمٌ وُلِدُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَمَاتُوا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى رُفِعَ الْحَدِيثُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَسْتَرْقُونَ وَلَا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ»  

[Machine] Most of the talk was around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night, and then we woke up on him and he said, "The prophets were presented to me with their nations." So, the Prophet ﷺ passed by with a group and the prophet ﷺ had a group with him, and the prophet ﷺ had a group with him, and the prophet ﷺ had a group with him, and there was no one with him until Moses passed by with him from the Bani Israel. So, I asked, "Who are these?" It was said: "This is your brother Moses and with him is the Children of Israel." So, I asked, "Where are my nation?" It was said: "Look to your right." So, I looked and saw the horizons filled with the faces of men. Then it was said to me, "Look to your left." So, I looked and saw the horizons filled with the faces of men. It was said to me, "Are you satisfied?" I said, "I am satisfied, O Lord, I am satisfied, O Lord!" It was said to me, "Indeed, with these (people) there are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being held accountable." The Prophet ﷺ said, "They are a ransom for you and your parents, if you are able to be one of the seventy thousand, then do so. If you fall short, then be one of the Dustar (people of the horizon). And if you fall short (of that), then be one of the Afar (people of the wilderness). Indeed, I have seen people who are outnumbered." So, 'Ukkashah bin Mihsan Al-Asadi stood up and said, "Ask Allah to make me one of the seventy (thousand)." So, he supplicated for him. Another man stood up and said, "Ask Allah to make me one of them." He said, "Ukkashah has beaten you to it." He (the man) said: "Tell us who are the seventy thousand?" He (the Prophet) said: "They are those who do not seek Ruqyah (charms or spells), and do not believe in treating through a good or bad omen, nor do they get themselves branded (cauterized), and they put their trust (only) in their Lord."  

أَكْثَرُوا الْحَدِيثَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ثُمَّ غَدَوْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ بِأُمَمِهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَمُرُّ وَمَعَهُ الثُّلَّةُ وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ الْعِصَابَةُ وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ النَّفَرُ وَالنَّبِيُّ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى مَرَّ عَلَيَّ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مَعَهُ كَبْكَبَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَعْجَبُونِي فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ فَقِيلَ هَذَا أَخُوكَ مُوسَى وَمَعَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ أُمَّتِي قِيلَ انْظُرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا الظِّرَابُ قَدْ سُدَّ بِوُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِي انْظُرْ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا الْأُفُقُ قَدْ سُدَّ بِوُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ فَقِيلَ لِي أَرَضِيتَ؟ قُلْتُ رَضِيتُ يَا رَبِّ رَضِيتُ يَا رَبِّ فَقِيلَ لِي إِنَّ مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فِدَاءٌ لَكُمْ أَبِي وَأُمِّي إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مِنَ السَّبْعِينَ أَلْفًا فَافْعَلُوا فَإِنْ قَصَّرْتُمْ فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الظِّرَابِ فَإِنْ قَصَّرْتُمْ فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأُفُقِ؛ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ نَاسًا يَتَهَاوَشُونَ» فَقَامَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ فَقَالَ ادْعُ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنَ السَّبْعِينَ فَدَعَا لَهُ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ ادْعُ اللهَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ «قَدْ سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ» قَالَ ثُمَّ تَحَدَّثْنَا فَقُلْنَا مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ السَّبْعُونَ الْأَلْفِ؟ قَوْمٌ وُلِدُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ حَتَّى مَاتُوا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَكْتَوُونَ وَلَا يَسْتَرْقُونَ وَلَا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "One day the prophets were presented before me. The Prophet ﷺ would come and only one man would accompany him, and the Prophet ﷺ would come and only two men would accompany him, and the Prophet ﷺ would come and only a few people would accompany him. Similarly, I looked and saw a large number of black people, so I thought they were my nation. When they approached, I saw that they were the people of Musa (Moses). Then it was said to me, 'Look again,' so I looked and saw many more black people. It was said, 'These are your people.' So I became happy and pleased. Then it was said to me, 'Among these are seventy thousand of your people who will enter Paradise without being held accountable or punished.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left while we were discussing this matter, and the Muslims inquired, 'Who are these seventy thousand?' They all agreed that they were those who were born in Islam and did not mix anything of shirk (associating partners with Allah) with it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned and said, 'They are those who do not seek ruqya (protective charms or superstitious remedies), nor do they seek omens, nor do they practice cauterization, and they rely solely on their Lord.' Then 'Ukkasha stood up and said, 'Pray to Allah to make me one of them.' He ﷺ said, 'You are one of them.' Another man stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them.' He ﷺ said, 'Ukkasha has preceded you in that.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا عُرِضَ عَلِيَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ فَكَانَ يَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلَّا الرَّجُلُ وَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلَّا الرَّجُلَانِ وَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلَّا النَّفْرُ الْيَسِيرُ كَذَلِكَ ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ فَرَأَيْتُ سَوَادًا كَثِيرًا فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ أُمَّتِي فَلَمَّا دَنَوْا فَإِذَا هُمْ قَوْمُ مُوسَى ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِي انْظُرْ فَنَظَرْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالَ فَقِيلَ هَؤُلَاءِ أُمَّتُكَ فَفَرِحْتُ لِذَلِكَ وَاسْتَبْشَرْتُ ثُمَّ قِيلَ انْظُرْ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا سَوَادٌ كَثِيرٌ أَيْضًا فَقِيلَ هَؤُلَاءِ أُمَّتُكَ فَفَرِحْتُ وَاسْتَبْشَرْتُ فَقِيلَ لِي إِنَّ مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ السَّبْعُونَ الْأَلْفَ؟ فَأَجْمَعَ رَأْيِهِمْ عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِ الشِّرْكِ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَكْتَوُونَ وَلَا يَسْتَرْقُونَ وَلَا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ» فَقَامَ عُكَّاشَةُ فَقَالَ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مِنْهُمْ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ «سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ»
