[Machine] He said: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and people started seeking permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he granted them permission. He then said, "What is wrong with the branch of the tree that follows the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? Why do you dislike it more than the other branch?" He said, "You only see people crying in the community." Abu Bakr said, "Indeed, the one who seeks permission from you concerning me afterwards is a foolish person." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, praised Allah, and glorified Him. He then said, "I bear witness before Allah, and whenever I used to swear, I would say, 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, none of you truly believes until he follows me, and my Lord has promised me that seventy thousand individuals from my Ummah will enter Paradise without being held accountable or punished. And I hope that neither you nor those who are righteous among your wives and children will enter Paradise until you occupy dwellings in Paradise."
قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ نَاسٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَأْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ «مَا بَالُ شِقِّ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي تَلِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْغَضُ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ؟» قَالَ فَلَا تَرَى فِي الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا بَاكِيًا فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ إِنَّ الَّذِي يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ فِي نَفْسِي بَعْدَهَا لَسَفِيهٌ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ «أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللهِ وَكَانَ إِذَا حَلَفَ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ ثُمَّ يُسَدِّدُ إِلَّا سُلِكَ بِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَقَدْ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي أنْ يُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا عَذَابَ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَتَبَوَّءُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذَرَارِيِّكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
