[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."
كُنَّا قُعُودًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَشَخَصَ بَصَرُهُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يَمْشِي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ «يَا فُلَانُ» قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَلَا يُنَازِعُهُ الْكَلَامَ إِلَّا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «أَتَقْرَأُ التَّوْرَاةَ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ قَالَ «وَالْقُرْآنَ؟» قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِِ لَوْ أَشَاءُ لَقَرَأْتُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ نَاشَدَهُ قَالَ «تَجِدُنِي فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ؟» قَالَ أَجِدُكَ مِثْلَكَ وَمِثْلَ هَيْأَتِكَ وَمِثْلَ مَخْرَجِكَ وَكُنَّا نَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنَّا فَلَمَّا خَرَجْتَ تَحَيَّرْنَا أَنْ تَكُونَ أَنْتَ هُوَ فَنَظَرْنَا وَإِذَا لَيْسَ أَنْتَ هُوَ قَالَ «وَلِمَ ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ إِنَّ مَعَهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ وَمَعَكَ نَفَرٌ يَسِيرٌ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَنَا هُوَ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَأُمَّتِي لَأَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا»
