✧ We returned with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and people began asking permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he began giving them permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "What is the matter with the side of the tree that is next to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being more hateful to you than the other side?" He said: Then you would see none of the people but weeping. He said: Abu Bakr ؓ said: "The one who asks your permission for himself after this is indeed foolish." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, praised Allah and extolled Him, and said: "I bear witness before Allah"—and when he swore, he would say: "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad—there is none among you who believes in Allah and then remains upright except that he will be led thereby into Paradise. And my Lord ﷻ has promised me to admit into Paradise seventy thousand of my community, with no reckoning upon them and no punishment. And I hope that they will not enter it until you, and the righteous among your spouses and offspring, have taken up dwellings in Paradise."
