[Machine] He said: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and some people began seeking permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he granted them permission. Then he said: 'What is the matter with the branch of the tree that is following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? It is more hateful to you than the other branch?' He said: 'You do not see anyone among the people except one who weeps.' Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه said: 'Indeed the one who seeks permission from you regarding myself after that is foolish.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and praised Allah and glorified Him, and said: 'I bear witness before Allah, and if he ever swore an oath by saying: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, there is none among you who believes in Allah and then dies (upon that faith), except that he will be admitted by it (that faith) to Paradise." And verily, my Lord has promised me that seventy thousand of my Ummah will enter Paradise without being called to account or to be punished, and I hope that you will be the majority of them, along with whoever is righteous among your wives and children, with houses (for them) in Paradise.'
