The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shown the nations during the pilgrimage season, but his own nation was slow in appearing to him. He said, "Then my nation was shown to me, and their great number pleased me. They had filled the plain and the mountain. I was told, 'Among them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning. They are those who do not seek to be cauterized, do not request incantations, do not believe in evil omens, and place their trust in their Lord.'"Ukashah said, "Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of them."So he prayed for him.Then another man stood up and said, "Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of them."He replied, "Ukashah has beaten you to it."
أن رسول الله ﷺ أرى الأمم بالموسم، فراثت عليه أمته، قال: فأريت أمتي فأعجبني كثرتهم، قد ملؤوا السهل والجبل، فقيل لي: إن مع هؤلاء سبعين ألفا يدخلون الجنة بغير حساب، هم الذين لا يكتوون، ولا يسترقون، ولا يتطيرون، وعلى ربهم يتوكلون. فقال عكاشة: يا رسول الله ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم، فدعا له، ثم قام يعني آخر فقال: يا رسول الله ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم، قال: سبقك بها عكاشة
Ahmad (3819) and Bazzar in Kashf Astar (3939) reported it, and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (6084), all of them from the hadith of Hammad bin Salama, from Aasim, from Zirr, from Ibn Masud, who mentioned it. Its chain is hasan because of Aasim, who is Ibn Abu Najud, and his hadith is hasan. It has also been narrated at greater length in the hadith that follows.
