[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , went out to them and said, "Indeed, my Lord has chosen me between seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being held to account, and between the 'hathiya' with Him." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, what does 'hathiya' mean for you?" So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered and then came out to them while he was saying the takbir (Allahu Akbar). He said, "Indeed, my Lord has increased for me with every thousand seventy thousand and the 'hathiya' is with Him." Abu Ru'hum said, "O Abu Ayyub, what do you think the 'hathiya' of Allah is?" So the people began to consume it with their mouths. Abu Ayyub said, "Leave your companion to inform you about the 'hathiya' of the Prophet, ﷺ , as I think it is, rather I am certain that the 'hathiya' of the Prophet, ﷺ , is to say, 'O Lord, whoever testifies that there is no deity except You alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is Your slave and Messenger, and his heart verifies what his tongue utters, Paradise will be incumbent upon him.'"  

الطبراني:٣٨٨٢حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زُعْبَةَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَبِيلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رُهْمٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبَّادَ بْنَ نَاشِرَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ رَبِّي ﷻ خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ عَفْوًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَبَيْنَ الْحَثْيَةِ عِنْدَهُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يَحْثِي لَكَ رَبُّكَ؟ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُوَ يُكَبِّرُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ رَبِّي ﷻ زَادَنِي يَتْبَعُ كُلَّ أَلْفٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا وَالْحَثْيَةُ عِنْدَهُ» قَالَ أَبُو رُهْمٍ يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ وَمَا تَظُنُّ حَثْيَةَ اللهِ فَأَكَلَهُ النَّاسُ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ دَعُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ حَثْيَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَمَا أَظُنُّ بَلْ كَالْمُسْتَيْقِنِ حَثْيَةُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنْ يَقُولَ «رَبِّ مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ ثُمَّ يُصَدِّقُ قَلْبُهُ لِسَانَهُ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ»

[Machine] I heard Abu Ruham, a storyteller from the people of Sham, say that he heard Abu Ayoub Al-Ansari say that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , one day came to them and said, "Verily, your Lord has chosen me among seventy thousand people who will enter Paradise without being held accountable, and between the hidden knowledge with Him for my nation." Some of his companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah, will your Lord keep this a secret?" So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered and then came out while saying, "Indeed, my Lord has increased me by seventy thousand with each thousand, and the hidden knowledge is with Him." Abu Ruham said, "O Abu Ayoub, what do you think is the secret of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?" The people instantly whispered and said, "And what about you? Are you the secret of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?" Abu Ayoub replied, "Leave the man, and I will inform you about the secret of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , as I think. Actually, it is as certain as I am. The secret of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , is that he says, 'Whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner or associate, and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger, confirming this with his tongue and heart, will enter Paradise.'"
