[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] We spoke with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and we had a lengthy conversation. Then we returned to our homes, and when we woke up in the morning, we went to the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "The prophets were presented to me last night, along with their followers from their nations. The Prophet came with three men from his people, and the Prophet came with a group and the Prophet came with a smaller group, and the Prophet came alone without anyone from his people. Until Musa ibn Imran came to me in a crowd of the children of Israel, and when I saw them, I was impressed, so I said, 'Lord, who are these?' He said, 'This is your brother Musa ibn Imran and his followers from the children of Israel.' I said, 'Lord, where is my nation?' It was said to me, 'Look to your right.' So I looked, and there was a black cloud approaching Makkah, with the faces of men turning black.' I said, 'Lord, who are these?' He said, 'These are your nation.' Then it was said to me, 'Are you pleased?' I said, 'Lord, I am pleased.' Then it was said to me, 'With them, there are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without any accountability.' Then 'Ukkashah ibn Mihsan, the brother of Banu Asad, stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them.' He said, 'O Allah, make him one of them.' Then another man stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them.' He said, 'Ukkashah has already been granted that.' Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'For you, my father and mother, if you can, strive to be among the seventy thousand. If you cannot, then strive to be among the people of the black cloud. If you cannot, then strive to be among the people on the horizon. Verily, I saw a people who were very much deluded.' Then the Prophet ﷺ recited the verse, 'A group [of the believers] from the earlier generations and a group from the later ones.' (Quran 56:40) The Muslims then started to speculate who these seventy thousand would be, and they said, 'We see them as people who were born into Islam and never cease to practice it until they die.' The narration of this hadith goes back to the Prophet ﷺ , who said, 'That is not the case, rather they are those who do not seek ruqya (charms or amulets), do not cauterize themselves, and do not believe in omens, but rather they put their trust in their Lord.'"

[Machine] We spoke with the Prophet of Allah ﷺ one night until we became tired of talking. Then we returned to our house. When we woke up the next morning, we went to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and he said, "The prophets were presented to me last night with their followers from their nations. The Prophet would come with three people from his nation, and another Prophet would come with a group of people from his nation, and another Prophet would come with a larger group from his nation. However, there was a Prophet who did not have anyone from his nation with him, until Musa ibn Imran came to me in Ka'baka from the Children of Israel. When I saw them, I was amazed and I asked, 'O Lord, who are these?' He said, 'This is your brother, Musa ibn Imran.' Then, I saw a group of people from the tribe of Makkah, their faces were covered. I asked, 'O Lord, who are these?' He said, 'They are your nation.' I said, 'Have you granted them mercy?' He said, 'Yes, I have granted them mercy.' I said, 'O Lord, I am pleased.' He said, 'I am pleased.' Then, I was told, 'Among these people are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being held accountable.'" Then, Ukashah ibn Mihsan, the brother of Banu Asad ibn Khuzaymah, stood up and said, "O Prophet of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them." He replied, "O Allah, make him one of them." Then, another man stood up and said, "O Prophet of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them."

[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»  

"عُرِضَت عَلَي الأَنْبيَاءُ بأُمَمِهَا، فجَعَلَ النَّبي يَمُر وَمَعهُ الثَّلاثَةُ، وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ الْعِصَابَةُ، وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ النَّفَرُ، وَالنَّبِيُّ وَلَيسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ، حَتَّى عُرِضَ عَلَي مُوسَى مَعَهُ كَبكبَةٌ مِنْ بَنيِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَعْجَبُونِي، فَقُلتُ: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ فَقِيلَ: هَذا أَخُوكَ مُوسَي وَمَعَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائيلَ. قُلتُ: فَأَينَ أُمَّتي؟ قِيلَ: انْظُرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، فَنَظَرتُ فَإِذَا الظِّرَابُ قَدْ سُدَّ بِوُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ، ثُمَّ قيلَ ليِ: انْظُرْ عَنْ يَسَارِك فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا الأُفُقُ قَدْ سُدَّ بِوُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ, فَقِيلَ ليِ: أَرَضيتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: رَضِيتُ يَا رَبِّ، رَضَيِتُ يَا رَبِّ، فَقِيلَ: إِنَّ مَعَ هَؤُلَاء سَبْعيِنَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيرِ حِسَابٍ فِدًى لَكُمْ أَبِي وَأُميِّ إِن اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَن تَكُونوا مِنَ السَّبْعيِنَ أَلْفًا فَافْعَلُوا، فَإنْ قَصَّرْتُمْ فَكُونُوا مِن أَهْلِ الظِّرَابِ، فَإِنْ قَصَّرتُمْ فكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْل الأُفُقِ؛ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيتُ أُنَاسًا يَتَهَاوَشُونَ كَثيرًا، وَإنِّي لأَرجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ مَنْ يَتْبَعُنِي رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا شَطرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّة".

فقام عُكَّاشَةُ فَقَال: ادع الله لي يَا رَسُولَ الله أنْ يَجْعَلَنيِ مِنَ السَّبْعِينَ، فَدَعَا لَهُ، فَقَامَ آخَرُ فَقَال: ادع الله أَنْ يَجْعَلَنيِ مِنْهمْ، فَقَال: قَدْ سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكاشَةُ فَقِيلَ: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ السَّبْعُونَ الأَلْف؟ قَال: "هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَكْتَوُونَ, وَلَا يَسْتَرْقُونَ، وَلَا يَتَطَيَّرون، وَعَلَى رَبِّهمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ".
