[Machine] One night, we were talking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until the conversation became too long. When we woke up in the morning, we went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "The prophets were presented to me with their followers from their nations. Sometimes the prophet ﷺ had a group of his nation with him, and sometimes the prophet ﷺ was alone. Allah informed you about the people of Lot and said, 'Is there not from among you a guiding man?' I said, 'O Lord, so where are my people?' He said, 'Look to your right.' So I looked and saw the Thirab of Mecca being filled with the faces of men. He said, 'Are you satisfied, O Muhammad?' I said, 'I am satisfied, O Lord.' He said, 'Look to your left.' So I looked and saw the horizon being filled with the faces of men. He said, 'Are you satisfied, O Muhammad?' I said, 'I am satisfied, O Lord.' He said, 'Indeed, with these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being held to account.' Then 'Ukkashah ibn Mihsan al-Asadi came and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to include me among them.' He said, 'O Allah, include 'Ukkashah among them.' Then another man stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to include me among them.' He said, 'You have been preceded by 'Ukkashah.' Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them, 'If you can, be my father and mother's servants, then be among the seventy thousand. But if you are unable and fall short, then be among the people of the Thirab. But if you are unable and fall short, then be among the people of the horizon. I have seen people who have quarreled a lot.' Then he said, 'I hope that those who follow me from my nation will be a quarter of Paradise.' The people then said takbir. He then recited the verse, 'A group from the former [generations] and a few from the later [generations].'" They then started discussing among themselves who these seventy thousand were. Some of them said, "They are a group who were born into Islam and died upon it." The hadith was then elevated to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "They are those who do not practice Ruqyah, nor do they believe in bad omens, and they trust in Allah."
