The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shown the nations during the pilgrimage season, and his own community appeared to him slowly. He said, "Then my community was shown to me, and their great number pleased me. They had filled both the plain and the mountain. It was said to me, 'Among these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning. They are those who do not seek cauterization, do not seek treatment by incantation, do not believe in evil omens, and place their trust in their Lord.'"Ukashah said, "Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them."So he prayed for him.Then another man stood up and said, "Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them."He replied, "Ukashah has beaten you to it."
أن رسول الله ﷺ أري 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) narrated it, as did Bazzar in his Musnad, Kashf Astar (3939), and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (6084), all of them from the hadith of Hammad bin Salama, from Asim, from Zirr, from Ibn Masud, who mentioned it.Its isnad is hasan because of Asim, who is Ibn Abu Najud, and he is hasan al-hadith.
