Mishkat al-Masabih 5296 — (Ar-riqaq) Words that soften the heart

Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:

Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم came out (one day) and said, "The ummahs were shown to me (with their Prophets, in my dream or through inspiration). When the Prophets began to pass, (I saw) a Prophet was accompanied by two men. Another was accompanied by a large group and yet another was accompanied by none. Then, I saw a large number of people who obscured the horizon and I hoped that they were my ummah, but was told This is Musa with his ummah.'I was told to look and I saw a great many people who obscured the horizon, and I was told to look to the right and to the left. I saw very many people who obscured the horizon (to either side). Then, I was told, 'They are your ummah. With them are seventy thousand leading them who would enter paradise without being subjected to reckoning. They are those who do not take (ill) omens, cast spells or cauterize themselves. But, they put trust in their Lord.'"At that, Ukkashah ibn Mihsan رضي الله عنه got up and submitted, "Pray to Allah to place me among them!" So, he prayed "O Allah, let him be among them!" Then, another man got up and submitted, "Pray to Allah that He may place me among them!" But, he said "Ukkashah has overtaken you in that." [1]
