I was with Sa'id b. Jubair when he said: Who amongst you saw a star shooting last night? I said: It was I; then I said: I was in fact not (busy) in prayer, but was stung by a scorpion (and that is the reason why I was awake and had a glimpse of the shooting star). He said: Then what did you do? I said: I practised charm. He said: What urged you to do this? I said: (I did this according to the implied suggestion) of the hadith which al-Shu'ba narrated. He said: What did al-Shu'ba narrate to you? I said: Buraida b. Husaib al-Aslami narrated to us. The charm is of no avail except in case of the (evil influence) of an eye or the sting of a scorpion. He said: He who acted according to what he had heard (from the Holy Prophet) acted rightly, but Ibn 'Abbas narrated to us from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said: There were brought before me the peoples and I saw an apostle and a small group (of his followers) along with him, another (apostle) and one or two persons (along with him) and (still another) apostle having no one with him. When a very large group was brought to me I conceived as if it were my Ummah. Then it was said to me: It is Moses and his people. You should look at the horizon, and I saw a very huge group. It was again said to me: See the other side of the horizon, and there was (also) a very huge group. It was said to me: This is your Ummah, and amongst them there were seventy thousand persons who would be made to enter Paradise without rendering any account and without (suffering) any torment. He then stood up and went to his house. Then the people began to talk about the people who would be admitted to Paradise without rendering any account and without (suffering) any torment. Some of them said: They may be those who (have had the good fortune of living) in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and some of them said: They be those who were born in Islam and did not associate anything with Allah. Some people mentioned other things. Thereupon came forth the Messenger of Allah ﷺ before them and he said: What was that which you were talking about? They informed him. He said: They are those persons who neither practise charm, nor ask others to practise it, nor do they take omens, and repose their trust in their Lord. Upon this 'Ukkasha b. Mihsan stood up and said: Supplicate for me that He should make me one among them. Upon this he (Messenger of Allah) said: Thou are one among them. Then another man stood up and said: Supplicate before Allah that He should make me one among them. Upon this he said: 'Ukkisha has preceded you.

[Machine] Which of you saw the passing comet last night? I said, "Me," then I said, "But I wasn't in prayer, I was bitten by a scorpion." He said, "And how did it happen?" I said, "I was stung." He asked, "What made you do that?" So I said, "A hadith that Al-Sha'bi narrated from Buraydah Al-Aslami, who said, 'There is no ruqyah (incantation) except from an evil eye or a scorpion sting.'" Sa'id, meaning Ibn Jubayr, said, "The one who reaches what he heard has done well." Then he said, "Ibn 'Abbas narrated to us from the Prophet ﷺ who said, 'The nations were shown to me, and I saw a prophet with a small group and a prophet with one or two individuals, and a prophet with no one with him. Then a great multitude was raised for me, so I said, 'This is my nation.' It was said, 'This is Musa and his nation. But look to the horizon.' So I looked and saw a great multitude. Then it was said to me, 'Look to the other side.' So I looked and saw a great multitude. It was said, 'This is your nation, and with them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment.' Then the Prophet ﷺ rose and entered, and the people began to discuss the matter. They said, 'Who are these people who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment?' Some of them said, 'Perhaps they are those who accompanied the Prophet ﷺ .' Others said, 'Perhaps they are those who were born in Islam and never associated anything with Allah, and they mentioned some other things.' Then the Prophet ﷺ came out to them and said, 'What is it that you were discussing?' So they told him what they had said, and he said, 'They are those who do not ask for ruqyah or amulets, and they do not cauterize themselves or seek omens, rather they put their trust in their Lord.' Mu'adh bin Jabal Al-Ansari stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, am I one of them?' He said, 'Yes.' Then another man stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, am I one of them?' He said, 'Ukkashah got ahead of you.'"

[Machine] He said: "We spoke with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we became tired of speaking. Then we returned to our families. When we woke up in the morning, we went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: 'The Prophets were presented to me along with their nations and their followers from their nations. The Prophet passed with him three from his nation, and the Prophet passed with him a group from his nation, and the Prophet passed with him a few from his nation, and the Prophet passed with him a man from his nation, and the Prophet did not have anyone from his nation with him until Musa ibn Imran passed by me in a valley from the Bani Israel. When I saw them, I was amazed and said: 'O Lord, who are these?' He said: 'This is your brother, Musa ibn Imran, and those with him are from the Bani Israel.' I said: 'O Lord, where is my nation?' He said: 'Look to your right, and you will see the white minaret of Makkah, surrounded by the faces of men.' I said: 'Who are these, O Lord?' He said: 'They are your nation.' I said: 'O Lord, I am pleased.' He said: 'Are you pleased?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Look to your left.' So I looked, and I saw the horizon surrounded by the faces of men.' He said: 'Are you pleased?' I said: 'I am pleased.' It was then said: 'Indeed, with these there are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being held accountable.' Then 'Ukkashah bin Mihsan, one of the Bani Asad bin Khuzaimah, stood and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'O Allah, make him one of them.' Then another man from them stood and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them.' He said: 'Ukkashah has preceded you with that.'"

[Machine] Most of us were talking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night, and then we went to him the next morning. He said, "The prophets were presented to me last night with their nations. The Prophet ﷺ walked by with a group of people, then the Prophet ﷺ walked by with a smaller group, and then the Prophet ﷺ walked by alone, and there was no one with him until Musa walked by with a group from the children of Israel. They amazed me so I asked, 'Who are these?'" I was told, "These are your nation, O Messenger of Allah, and these are the children of Israel." I said, "Where is my nation?" I was told, "Look to your right." So I looked and the horizon was filled with the faces of men. Then I was told, "Look to your left." So I looked and the horizon was filled with the faces of men. Then I was asked, "Are you pleased?" I said, "I am pleased, O Lord, I am pleased, O Lord." It was said to me, "Among these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being brought to account." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I wish that you, O Abu Umaamah and your mother, may be among them. If you can, be one of the seventy thousand. If you cannot, then be one of the people of the horizon. And if you cannot, then be one of the people of the outskirts." I have seen people who argue with one another, then 'Ukkashah bin Mihsan stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of the seventy thousand." So he prayed for him. Then another man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of them." He said, "Ukkashah has beaten you to it." Then we asked, "Who are these seventy thousand people?" He said, "They are those who neither seek rukiyah (charms) nor do they believe in bad omens and they put their trust in their Lord."

[Machine] We spoke with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and we had a lengthy conversation. Then we returned to our homes, and when we woke up in the morning, we went to the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "The prophets were presented to me last night, along with their followers from their nations. The Prophet came with three men from his people, and the Prophet came with a group and the Prophet came with a smaller group, and the Prophet came alone without anyone from his people. Until Musa ibn Imran came to me in a crowd of the children of Israel, and when I saw them, I was impressed, so I said, 'Lord, who are these?' He said, 'This is your brother Musa ibn Imran and his followers from the children of Israel.' I said, 'Lord, where is my nation?' It was said to me, 'Look to your right.' So I looked, and there was a black cloud approaching Makkah, with the faces of men turning black.' I said, 'Lord, who are these?' He said, 'These are your nation.' Then it was said to me, 'Are you pleased?' I said, 'Lord, I am pleased.' Then it was said to me, 'With them, there are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without any accountability.' Then 'Ukkashah ibn Mihsan, the brother of Banu Asad, stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them.' He said, 'O Allah, make him one of them.' Then another man stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them.' He said, 'Ukkashah has already been granted that.' Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'For you, my father and mother, if you can, strive to be among the seventy thousand. If you cannot, then strive to be among the people of the black cloud. If you cannot, then strive to be among the people on the horizon. Verily, I saw a people who were very much deluded.' Then the Prophet ﷺ recited the verse, 'A group [of the believers] from the earlier generations and a group from the later ones.' (Quran 56:40) The Muslims then started to speculate who these seventy thousand would be, and they said, 'We see them as people who were born into Islam and never cease to practice it until they die.' The narration of this hadith goes back to the Prophet ﷺ , who said, 'That is not the case, rather they are those who do not seek ruqya (charms or amulets), do not cauterize themselves, and do not believe in omens, but rather they put their trust in their Lord.'"

تَحَدَّثْنَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَأَكْثَرْنَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَرَاجَعْنَا إِلَى الْبُيُوتِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا غَدَوْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ اللَّيْلَةَ بِأَتْبَاعِهَا مِنْ أُمَّتِهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ يَجِيءُ وَمَعَهُ الثَّلَاثَةُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ الْعِصَابَةُ وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ النَّفْرُ وَالنَّبِيُّ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَيَّ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ فِي كَبْكَبَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمْ أَعْجَبُونِي فَقُلْتُ رَبِّ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالَ هَذَا أَخُوكَ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالَ قُلْتُ رَبِّ فَأَيْنَ أُمَّتِي؟ فَقِيلَ لِي انْظُرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ فَإِذَا الظِّرَابُ ظِرَابُ مَكَّةَ قَدْ سُوِّدَ بِوُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ فَقُلْتُ رَبِّ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالَ أُمَّتُكَ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لِي هَلْ رَضِيتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ رَبِّ رَضِيتُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِي إِنَّ مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ فَأَنْشَأَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ أَخُو بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ادْعُ رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مِنْهُمْ» ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ادْعُ رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ «سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ» قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فِدًا لَكُمْ أَبِي وَأُمِّي إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مِنَ السَّبْعِينَ فَكُونُوا فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمْ وَقَصَّرْتُمْ فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الظِّرَابِ فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمْ وَقَصَّرْتُمْ فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأُفُقِ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ ثَمَّ نَاسًا يَتَهَرَّشُونَ كَثِيرًا» قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ مَنْ تَبِعَنِي مِنْ أُمَّتِي رُبْعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» قَالَ فَكَبَّرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا الثُّلُثَ» فَكَبَّرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا الشَّطْرَ» فَكَبَّرْنَا قَالَ فَتَلَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ {ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْآخَرِينَ} [الواقعة 40] قَالَ فَرَاجَعَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ السَّبْعِينَ فَقَالُوا نَرَاهُمْ نَاسًا وُلِدُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَالُوا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ حَتَّى مَاتُوا عَلَيْهِ فَنُمِيَ حَدِيثُهُمْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَسْتَرْقُونَ وَلَا يَكْتَوُونَ وَلَا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The nations were presented to me, and I saw a Prophet accompanied by a group, a Prophet accompanied by one man, and a Prophet with no one accompanying him. Then a huge group was raised before me, so I asked if they were my nation. It was said, 'This is Musa (Moses) and his people, but look at the horizon.' So I looked and saw another huge group. Then it was said to me, 'Look at the other side.' And there was another huge group. It was said to me, 'Your nation, along with them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being held accountable or experiencing punishment.' Then the Prophet ﷺ got up and entered. The people began to discuss and ask, 'Who are those who will enter Paradise without being held accountable?' Some said, 'Perhaps they are those who accompanied the Prophet ﷺ .' Others said, 'Perhaps they are those who were born in Islam and never associated partners with Allah and mentioned certain virtues.' The Prophet ﷺ came out to them and asked, 'What are you discussing?' They informed him of what they were saying. He said, 'They are those who do not seek cauterization, do not ask for omens, and do not believe in evil omens. They rely solely on their Lord.' Then 'Ukkashah bin Mihsan Al-Asadi stood up and asked, 'Am I among them, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Yes, you are among them.' Then another man stood up and asked, 'Am I among them, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'Ukkashah beat you to it.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأُمَمُ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ وَمَعَهُ رَهْطٌ وَالنَّبِيَّ وَمَعَهُ رَجُلٌ وَالنَّبِيَّ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ إِذْ رُفِعَ لِي سَوَادٌ عَظِيمٌ فَقُلْتُ هَذِهِ أُمَّتِي؟ فَقِيلَ هَذَا مُوسَى وَقَوْمُهُ وَلَكِنِ انْظُرْ إِلَى الْأُفُقِ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا سَوَادٌ عَظِيمٌ ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِي انْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ فَإِذَا سَوَادٌ عَظِيمٌ فَقِيلَ لِي أُمَّتُكَ وَمَعَهُمْ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ» ثُمَّ نَهَضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ فَخَاضَ الْقَوْمُ فِي ذَلِكَ وَقَالُوا مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمُ الَّذِينَ صَحِبُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمُ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَمْ يُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ قَطُّ وَذَكَرُوا أَشْيَاءَ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ تَخُوضُونَ فِيهِ؟ » فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ «هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَكْتَوُونَ* وَلَا يَسْتَرْقُونَ وَلَا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ» فَقَامَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ فَقَالَ أَنَا مِنْهُمُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ» ثُمَّ قَامَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ أَنَا مِنْهُمُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ»  

[Machine] We spoke with the Prophet of Allah ﷺ one night until we became tired of talking. Then we returned to our house. When we woke up the next morning, we went to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and he said, "The prophets were presented to me last night with their followers from their nations. The Prophet would come with three people from his nation, and another Prophet would come with a group of people from his nation, and another Prophet would come with a larger group from his nation. However, there was a Prophet who did not have anyone from his nation with him, until Musa ibn Imran came to me in Ka'baka from the Children of Israel. When I saw them, I was amazed and I asked, 'O Lord, who are these?' He said, 'This is your brother, Musa ibn Imran.' Then, I saw a group of people from the tribe of Makkah, their faces were covered. I asked, 'O Lord, who are these?' He said, 'They are your nation.' I said, 'Have you granted them mercy?' He said, 'Yes, I have granted them mercy.' I said, 'O Lord, I am pleased.' He said, 'I am pleased.' Then, I was told, 'Among these people are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being held accountable.'" Then, Ukashah ibn Mihsan, the brother of Banu Asad ibn Khuzaymah, stood up and said, "O Prophet of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them." He replied, "O Allah, make him one of them." Then, another man stood up and said, "O Prophet of Allah, pray to your Lord to make me one of them."  

تَحَدَّثْنَا عِنْدَ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى أَكْرَيْنَا الْحَدِيثَ ثُمَّ تَرَاجَعْنَا إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا غَدَوْنَا إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ «عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ اللَّيْلَةَ بِأَتْبَاعِهَا مِنْ أُمَّتِهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ يَجِيءُ وَمَعَهُ الثَّلَاثَةُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَالنَّبِيُّ يَجِيءُ وَمَعَهُ الْعِصَابَةُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ النَّفْرُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَالنَّبِيُّ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَيَّ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ فِي كَبْكَبَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمْ أَعْجَبُونِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالَ هَذَا أَخُوكَ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ قَالَ وَإِذَا ظِرَابٌ مِنْ ظِرَابِ مَكَّةَ قَدْ سَدَّ وُجُوهَ الرِّجَالِ قُلْتُ رَبِّ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالَ أُمَّتُكَ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لِي رَضِيتَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ رَبِّ رَضِيتُ رَبِّ رَضِيتُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِي إِنَّ مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ» قَالَ فَأَنْشَأَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ أَخُو بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ادْعُ رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ادْعُ رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ  

[Machine] We spoke with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night until we became tired of speaking. Then we returned to our homes. When we woke up in the morning, we talked about it and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The prophets, their nations, and their followers were presented to me last night. The Prophet would pass by with three of his nation, and another Prophet would pass by with a group from his nation, and another Prophet would pass by alone from his nation. Finally, Musa ibn Imran passed by holding onto a pillar of the House of Allah, and when I saw him and his nation, I was amazed." So I said, "O Lord, who are these?" He said, "Your brother Musa ibn Imran and his followers from the nation of Banu Israel." I said, "O Lord, where is my nation?" He said, "Look to your right." So I looked and saw a group of people whose faces were blackened, and I said, "O Lord, who are these?" He said, "These are your nation, are you pleased with them?" I said, "O Lord, I am pleased." He said, "Look to your left." So I looked and saw another group of people whose faces were blackened, and I said, "O Lord, who are these?" He said, "These are also your nation, are you pleased with them?" I said, "O Lord, I am pleased." It was then said, "Among these (two groups) are seventy thousand people who will enter Paradise without being held accountable." 'Ukkasha ibn Mihsan, a member of the Banu Asad ibn Khuzayma, then stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me among them." He replied, "You are one of them." Then another man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me among them." He replied, "Ukkasha ibn Mihsan has beaten you to it."  

تَحَدَّثْنَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى أَكْرَيْنَا الْحَدِيثَ ثُمَّ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى مَنَازِلِنَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا غَدَوْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ « عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ اللَّيْلَةَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَأُمَمُهُمْ وَأَتْبَاعُهَا مِنْ أُمَمِهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ يَمُرُّ وَمَعَهُ الثَّلَاثَةُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ وَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ يَمُرُّ وَمَعَهُ الْعِصَابَةُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ وَالنَّبِيُّ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلَّا الْوَاحِدُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ وَالنَّبِيُّ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ حَتَّى مَرَّ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ فِي كَبْكَبَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمْ أَعْجَبُونِي» فَقُلْتُ «يَا رَبِّ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ » قَالَ أَخُوكَ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قُلْتُ «يَا رَبِّ فَأَيْنَ أُمَّتِي؟ » قَالَ انْظُرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكِ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا الظِّرَابُ ظِرَابُ مَكَّةَ قَدِ اسْوَدَّ بِوجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ فَقُلْتُ «يَا رَبِّ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ » قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ أُمَّتُكَ أَرَضِيتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ «يَا رَبِّ قَدْ رَضِيتُ» قَالَ انْظُرْ عَنْ يَسَارِكِ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا الْأُفُقُ قَدْ سُدَّ بِوجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ فَقُلْتُ «يَا رَبِّ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ » قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ أُمَّتُكَ أَرَضِيتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ «رَبِّ رَضِيتُ» قِيلَ فَإِنَّ مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا بِلَا حِسَابٍ قَالَ فَأَنْشَأَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ أَحَدُ بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «فَإِنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ»  

"عُرِضَت عَلَي الأَنْبيَاءُ بأُمَمِهَا، فجَعَلَ النَّبي يَمُر وَمَعهُ الثَّلاثَةُ، وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ الْعِصَابَةُ، وَالنَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ النَّفَرُ، وَالنَّبِيُّ وَلَيسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ، حَتَّى عُرِضَ عَلَي مُوسَى مَعَهُ كَبكبَةٌ مِنْ بَنيِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَعْجَبُونِي، فَقُلتُ: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ فَقِيلَ: هَذا أَخُوكَ مُوسَي وَمَعَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائيلَ. قُلتُ: فَأَينَ أُمَّتي؟ قِيلَ: انْظُرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، فَنَظَرتُ فَإِذَا الظِّرَابُ قَدْ سُدَّ بِوُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ، ثُمَّ قيلَ ليِ: انْظُرْ عَنْ يَسَارِك فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا الأُفُقُ قَدْ سُدَّ بِوُجُوهِ الرِّجَالِ, فَقِيلَ ليِ: أَرَضيتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: رَضِيتُ يَا رَبِّ، رَضَيِتُ يَا رَبِّ، فَقِيلَ: إِنَّ مَعَ هَؤُلَاء سَبْعيِنَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيرِ حِسَابٍ فِدًى لَكُمْ أَبِي وَأُميِّ إِن اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَن تَكُونوا مِنَ السَّبْعيِنَ أَلْفًا فَافْعَلُوا، فَإنْ قَصَّرْتُمْ فَكُونُوا مِن أَهْلِ الظِّرَابِ، فَإِنْ قَصَّرتُمْ فكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْل الأُفُقِ؛ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيتُ أُنَاسًا يَتَهَاوَشُونَ كَثيرًا، وَإنِّي لأَرجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ مَنْ يَتْبَعُنِي رُبُعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا شَطرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّة".

فقام عُكَّاشَةُ فَقَال: ادع الله لي يَا رَسُولَ الله أنْ يَجْعَلَنيِ مِنَ السَّبْعِينَ، فَدَعَا لَهُ، فَقَامَ آخَرُ فَقَال: ادع الله أَنْ يَجْعَلَنيِ مِنْهمْ، فَقَال: قَدْ سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكاشَةُ فَقِيلَ: مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ السَّبْعُونَ الأَلْف؟ قَال: "هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَكْتَوُونَ, وَلَا يَسْتَرْقُونَ، وَلَا يَتَطَيَّرون، وَعَلَى رَبِّهمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ".
