Abdullah bin Masud reported,

We were talking with the Prophet of Allah ﷺ one night until our conversation grew long, then we returned home. When morning came, we went early to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ, and the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "The prophets were shown to me last night with the followers of their nations. A prophet ﷺ would come accompanied by three men of his people, another prophet would come with a small band of his people, another prophet ﷺ with just a handful of his people, and another prophet ﷺ with not a single person of his people with him. Then Musa bin Imran came before me with a great multitude from the Children of Israil. When I saw them, I admired them and said, 'My Lord, who are these?' He said, 'This is your brother Musa bin Imran along with his followers.' Then I saw a great hill, like one of the hills of Makkah, that was filled with the faces of men. I said, 'My Lord, who are these?' He said, 'Your nation.' Then I was told, 'Are you pleased?' I said, 'My Lord, I am pleased. My Lord, I am pleased.' Then I was told, 'Among these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning.'"Then Ukashah bin Mihsan, of the tribe of Banu Asad bin Khuzaymah, stood up and said, "Prophet of Allah, ask your Lord to make me one of them."He said, "O Allah, make him one of them."Then another man stood up and said, "Prophet of Allah, ask your Lord to make me one of them."He said, "Ukashah has beaten you to it."Then the Prophet of Allah said, "May my father and mother be your ransom, if you are able to be among the seventy, then be so. If you fall short and cannot, then be among the people of the hill. If you fall short of that as well, then be among the people of the horizon, for I saw there a great many people contending with one another."Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "I truly hope that those who follow me from my nation will be a quarter of the people of Paradise."We called out, "Allahu Akbar!"Then he said, "I hope they will be a third."We called out, "Allahu Akbar!"Then he said, "I hope they will be half."We called out, "Allahu Akbar!"Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ recited, "A multitude from the former generations and a multitude from the latter generations" [Waqiah 56:39–40].The Muslims then discussed among themselves about these seventy thousand, saying, "We think they must be people who were born into Islam and continued acting upon it until they died upon it."Word of their discussion reached the Prophet of Allah ﷺ, and he said, "It is not so. Rather, they are those who do not seek to be treated by ruqyah, do not cauterize themselves, do not believe in omens, and place their trust in their Lord."

عن عبد الله بن مسعود قال

تحدثنا عند نبي الله ﷺ ذات ليلة حتى أكرينا الحديث، ثم تراجعنا إلى البيت، فلما أصبحنا غدونا إلى نبي الله ﷺ، فقال نبي الله ﷺ: عرضت علي الأنبياء الليلة بأتباعها من أمتها، فجعل النبي ﷺ يجيء ومعه الثلاثة من قومه، والنبي يجيء ومعه العصابة من قومه، والنبي ﷺ ومعه النفر من قومه والنبي ﷺ ليس معه من قومه أحد، حتى أتى علي موسى بن عمران في كبكبة من بني إسرائيل، فلما رأيتهم أعجبوني، فقلت: يا رب من هؤلاء؟ قال: هذا أخوك موسى بن عمران. قال: وإذا ظراب من ظراب مكة قد سد وجوه الرجال، قلت: رب من هؤلاء؟ قال: أمتك. قال: فقيل لي: رضيت. قال: قلت: رب رضيت رب رضيت. قال: ثم قيل لي: إن مع هؤلاء سبعين ألفا يدخلون الجنة لاحساب عليهم. قال: فأنشأ عكاشة بن محصن أخو بني أسد بن خزيمة فقال: يا نبي الله، ادع ربك أن يجعلني منهم، قال: اللهم اجعله منهم قال: ثم أنشأ رجل آخر، فقال: يا نبي الله، ادع ربك أن يجعلني منهم، فقال: سبقك بها عكاشة. قال: ثم قال نبي الله: فداكم أبي وأمي، إن استطعتم أن تكونوامن السبعين فكونوا، فإن عجزتم وقصرتم فكونوا من أهل الظراب، فإن عجزتم وقصرتم فكونوا من أهل الأفق، فإني رأيت ثم أناسا يتهرشون كثيرا. قال: فقال نبي الله ﷺ: إني لأرجو أن يكون من تبعني من أمتي ربع أهل الجنة. قال: فكبرنا، ثم قال: إني لأرجو ان يكونوا الثلث. قال: فكبرنا، ثم قال: إني لأرجو أن يكون الشطر. قال: فكبرنا، فتلا نبى الله ﷺ: {ثلة من الأولين وثلة من الآخرين} قال: فتراجع المسلمون على هؤلاء السبعين، فقالوا: نراهم أناسا ولدوا في الإسلام، ثم لم يزالوا يعملون به حتى ماتوا عليه، قال: فنمى حديثهم الي نبيي الله ﷺ، فقال: ليس كذلك، ولكنهم الذين لا يسترقون ولا يكتوون ولا يتطيرون وعلى ربهم يتوكلون.
