Musnad Ahmad 3806

Translation

✧ We talked a great deal with the Messenger of God ﷺ one night, then we went to him in the morning and he said: “The prophets were presented to me tonight with their nations. A prophet would pass by with three (followers), another with a band, another with a small group, and another with none, until Moses passed by me with a large crowd of the Children of Israel. They pleased me, so I said, ‘Who are these?’ It was said to me, ‘This is your brother Moses, and with him are the Children of Israel.’ He said: I said, ‘Then where is my nation?’ It was said to me, ‘Look to your right.’ I looked, and there were the small hills, filled with the faces of men. Then it was said to me, ‘Look to your left.’ I looked, and there was the horizon, filled with the faces of men. It was said to me, ‘Are you satisfied?’ I said, ‘I am satisfied, O Lord, I am satisfied, O Lord.’ He said: Then it was said to me, ‘Indeed, with these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning.’ Then the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘May my father and mother be your ransom: if you can be among the seventy thousand, then do so. But if you fall short, then be among the people of the hills; and if you fall short, then be among the people of the horizon, for I have seen there people crowding together.’ Then ʿUkkāsha b. Miḥṣan stood up and said: ‘Supplicate God for me, O Messenger of God, that He make me one of the seventy.’ So he supplicated for him. Then another man stood and said: ‘Supplicate God, O Messenger of God, that He make me one of them.’ He said: ‘ʿUkkāsha has beaten you to it.’ He said: Then we talked among ourselves and said: 'Who do you think these seventy thousand are? A people who were born in Islam and did not associate anything with God until they died.' That reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: 'They are those who do not cauterize themselves, do not seek ruqya, do not believe in omens, and put their trust in their Lord.'"
