We were talking one night at the home of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we had exhausted the conversation, then we returned to our families. When morning came, we went early to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said:"The prophets were shown to me along with their nations and the followers from among their nations. A prophet would pass by with three of his people, another prophet with a small group of his people, another prophet with a handful of his people, another prophet with just one man of his people, and another prophet with no one at all. Then Musa bin Imran ﷺ passed by me with a great crowd from the Children of Israil. When I saw them, they impressed me, and I asked, 'My Lord, who are these?' He said, 'This is your brother Musa bin Imran and those with him from the Children of Israil.' I said, 'My Lord, where is my nation?' He said, 'Look to your right.' I looked, and there were the hills of Makkah, completely filled with the faces of men. I asked, 'Who are these, my Lord?' He said, 'Your nation.' I said, 'I am pleased, my Lord.' He said, 'Are you pleased?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Look to your left.' I looked, and the horizon was filled with the faces of men. He said, 'Are you pleased?' I said, 'I am pleased.' It was said, 'Along with these, there are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without any reckoning.'"Then Ukkasha bin Mihsan, one of the Bani Asad bin Khuzayma, stood up and said, "Prophet of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of them."He said, "O Allah, make him one of them."Then another man stood up and said, "Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of them."He replied, "Ukkasha has beaten you to it."
حدثنا عبد الصمد حدثنا هشام عن قتادة عن الحسن عن عمران بن حصين
تحدثنا ليلة عند رسول الله ﷺ حتى أكرينا الحديث ثم رجعنا إلى أهلنا فلما أصبحنا غدونا على رسول الله ﷺ فقال عرضت علي الأنبياء بأممها وأتباعها من أممها فجعل النبي يمر ومعه الثلاثة من أمته والنبي معه العصابة من أمته والنبي معه النفر من أمته والنبي معه الرجل من أمته والنبي ما معه أحد حتى مر علي موسى بن عمران ﷺ في كبكبة من بني إسرائيل فلما رأيتهم أعجبوني قلت يا رب من هؤلاء فقال هذا أخوك موسى بن عمران ومن معه من بني إسرائيل قلت يا رب فأين أمتي قال انظر عن يمينك فإذا الظراب ظراب مكة قد سد بوجوه الرجال قلت من هؤلاء يا رب قال أمتك قلت رضيت رب قال أرضيت قلت نعم قال انظر عن يسارك قال فنظرت فإذا الأفق قد سد بوجوه الرجال فقال رضيت قلت رضيت قيل فإن مع هؤلاء سبعين ألفا يدخلون الجنة لا حساب لهم فأنشأ عكاشة بن محصن أحد بني أسد بن خزيمة فقال يا نبي الله ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم فقال اللهم اجعله منهم ثم أنشأ رجل آخر فقال يا رسول الله ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم قال سبقك بها عكاشة
