[Machine] We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ in the mosque when his gaze fell upon a man walking in the mosque. The Prophet said, "O so-and-so." The man replied, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet asked him, "Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?" The man replied, "No." The Prophet asked him, "Do you recite the Torah?" The man replied, "Yes, and the Gospel too." The Prophet then asked, "And the Quran?" The man replied, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, if I wish, I can recite it." The Prophet then addressed him, saying, "Do you find me in the Torah and the Gospel?" The man replied, "I find you similar to you, similar to your appearance, and similar to the way you speak. We had hoped that you would be among us, but when you left, we were bewildered as to whether or not you were the one." The Prophet asked, "Why is that?" The man said, "Because with him (referring to the Mahdi) are seventy thousand people from his nation who will enter Paradise without being held to account or punished, and with you are a small group." The Prophet said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, I am the one, and they are my nation. They are more than seventy thousand."

[Machine] We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ in the mosque when his gaze fell on a man who was walking in the mosque. He said, "O so and so, do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ then asked, "Do you read the Torah?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then asked, "And the Gospel?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then asked, "And the Quran?" He replied, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, if I wanted, I could recite it." The Prophet ﷺ then recited a verse to him and said, "Do you find me in the Torah and the Gospel?" He replied, "I find someone like you and like your nation, but I was hoping that you would be among us. When you left, we were afraid that it was you, so we looked and found that it was not you." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Why did you think so?" He replied, "Because he is accompanied by seventy thousand of his nation who will enter Paradise without being held accountable or punished, and with me there are only a few." The Prophet ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, I am that person, and they are my nation. And they are more than seventy thousand, and seventy thousand, and seventy thousand."
