Ibn `Abbas رضي الله عنه narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “All the nations were made to pass before me, and I saw a Prophet with a small group, and a Prophet with only one or two men, and a Prophet with none.

Then there was shown to me a large number of people which I thought to be my Ummah, but it was said to me: “This is Moosa and his people.”

Then I looked and saw a huge crowd at which it was said to me: “These are your people: Among them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without a reckoning or punishment.”

Then he صلى الله عليه وسلم got up and went to his house, and the people began to discuss who they might be: Some of them said: “Perhaps they are the Companions of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم;” others said: “Perhaps they are the those who were born in Islam and have never associated any partners with Allah سبحانه وتعالى.” While they were talking thus, the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم came out and they informed him (about what they had been discussing). He سبحانه وتعالى said:

“They are those who do not treat themselves with ruqyah, nor practise treatment by cauterization, nor believe in good or bad omens – but depend upon and trust in their Rabb (Alone).”

`Ukkashah Ibn Mihsan رضي الله عنه stood up and said: “Ask Allah for me that I be one of them.” He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “You are one of them.” Then another man stood and said: “Ask Allah that I (also) be one of them.” He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “`Ukkashah has preceded you.”
