[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we reached al-Kadid, or he said al-Qudaid, where some of us requested permission from their families and were granted it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then stood up, praised and glorified Allah, and said, "Why is it that the men who cut down the tree by which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is seated are more disliked by them than the other men? We only saw at that moment some of the people weeping." A man then said, "Indeed, the one who seeks permission from you after this is mad." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ thanked Allah and said, "I bear witness, in the sight of Allah, that no servant who bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah sincerely from his heart will die until he enters Paradise." He added, "And my Lord has promised me that seventy thousand of my Ummah will enter Paradise without being held accountable or punished. And I hope that you and those among your parents, spouses, and offspring who are righteous will occupy dwellings in Paradise." He also said, "When half or two-thirds of the night has passed, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and says, ‘Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, so that I may forgive him? Is there anyone seeking provision, so that I may provide for him? Is there anyone asking for a favor, so that I may grant it to him?’ This continues until dawn breaks."

[Machine] He said: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , until we reached Al-Kadeed or Qudeed. There, men sought permission to visit their families and they were granted permission. He then praised and glorified Allah, and said, "The best of you is the one who, upon witnessing, testifies that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, sincerely from his heart, and then behaves rightly. Except those destined for Hell." Then he said, "My Lord has promised me that seventy thousand from my Ummah will enter Paradise without being held to account. And I hope that you and those of your wives and children who are righteous will be among them, possessing homes in Paradise." He also said, "When half or two-thirds of the night has passed, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, that I may forgive him? Is there anyone asking for something, that I may grant him? Is there anyone seeking my protection, that I may protect him?' This continues until dawn arrives."

[Machine] "We left with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Makkah, and some people started asking for permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He began giving them permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked, 'Why is it that the branch of the tree that follows the Messenger of Allah is more hateful to you than any other branch?' We did not see anyone from the people except crying. Abu Bakr said, 'The one who seeks permission from you after this will surely be foolish in my eyes.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, praised and thanked Allah. He would say, 'By the One in whose hand my soul is, I bear witness before Allah, whoever among you believes in Allah and follows the straight path, he will be admitted to Paradise.' Indeed, my Lord has promised me that He will admit 70 thousand from my Ummah into Paradise without reckoning or punishment.

قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْكَدِيدِ جَعَلُوا يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَهَالِيهِمْ فَيَأْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ «مَا بَالُ شِقِّ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي تَلِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْغَضُ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ؟» فَلَمْ يُرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا بَاكٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ الَّذِي يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ بَعْدَ هَذَا لَسَفِيهٌ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى خَيْرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللهِ لَا يَمُوتُ عَبْدٌ شَهِدَ شَهَادَةَ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ صِدْقًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ 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 تَدْخُلُوا حَتَّى تَتَبَوَّءُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذَرَارِيِّكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»  

"أشْهدُ عنْدَ الله: لا يُموتُ عبْدٌ يَشْهدُ أَن لا إلهَ إلا الله، وَأنِّي رسولُ الله، صِدْقًا منْ قَلْبه، ثُمَّ يُسدِّد، إلَّا سلَكَ في الجنَّةِ، وقدْ وعدني ربِّي ﷻ أنْ (يُدخِل) مِنْ أُمَّتي الجنَّةِ سبعين ألفًا، لا حسابَ علَيهم، وَلَا عذابَ، وإنِّي لأرجو ألا يَدْخُلُوها حتَّى تبوَّءوا: أنْتُمْ، وَمنْ صَلَح مِنْ آبائِكم، وأَزواجِكُمْ، وَذَرَاريكم مساكنَ في الجنَّةِ".  

" عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ عَرَابَةَ قَالَ: غَزَوْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْكَدِيدِ، أَوْ قَالَ: بِقَدِيد جَعَلَ رِجَال مِنَّا يَسْتَأذِنُونَ إِلَى أهَاليهِمْ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَأذَنُ لَهُمْ وَقَالَ: مَا بَالُ شِقِّ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّذِى يَلِى رَسُولَ الله ﷺ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الآخَرِ؟ ! فَلَمْ نَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا بَاكِيًا، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّ الَّذِى يَسْتَأذِنُكَ فِى شَىْءٍ مِنْهَا السَّفِيهُ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فَحَمِد الله، وأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ الله وَكَانَ إِذَا حَلَفَ قَالَ: وَالَّذِى نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بيَدِهِ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِالله ثُمَّ يُسَدِّدُ إلَّا سُلِكَ بِهِ فِى الْجَنَّةِ، وَلَقَدْ وَعَدَنِى رَبِّى أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِى الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا عَذَابَ، وَإِنِّى لأَرْجُو أَن لَّا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَبْنُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِى الْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِذَا مَضَى نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ، أَوْ قَالَ: ثُلُثَاهُ يَنْزِلُ الله تَعَالَى إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ: لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِى غَيْرِى، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِى يَسْأَلُنِى أَعْطَيْتُهُ، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِى يَدْعُونِى أَسْتَجِيب لَهُ، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِى يَسْتَغْفِرُنِى أَغْفِر لَهُ، حَتَّى يَنْصَدِعَ الْفَجْرُ".
