I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "A group from my nation will enter Paradise numbering seventy thousand, their faces shining like the brightness of the moon."Ukashah bin Mihsan al-Asadi stood up, lifting his striped cloak, and said, "Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them."He said, "O Allah, make him one of them."Then a man from the Ansar stood up and said, "Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Ukashah has beaten you to it."
سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: يدخل الجنة من أمتي زمرة هي سبعون ألفا تضيء وجوههم إضاءة القمر. فقام عكاشة بن محصن الأسدي يرفع نمرة عليه قال: ادع الله لي يا رسول الله أن يجعلني منهم، فقال: اللهم اجعله منهم. ثم قام رجل من الأنصار فقال: يا رسول الله ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: سبقك بها عكاشة.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Clothing (5811) from Abu Yaman, who said, Shuayb informed us, from Zuhri, who said, Saeed bin Musayab told me that Abu Hurairah said, then he mentioned the hadith. He also narrated it (6542) through Abdullah (who is Ibn Wahb), who said, Yunus informed us, from Zuhri with a chain of transmission close to it. Muslim narrated it from this same route in the Book of Faith (369/216), and he also narrated it through another route, which contains, "Seventy thousand of my nation will enter Paradise without reckoning."
