عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ((عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأُمَمُ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ وَمَعَهُ الرَّهْطُ وَالنَّبِيَّ وَمَعَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَالرَّجُلَيْنِ وَالنَّبِيَّ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ إِذْ رُفِعَ لِي سَوَادٌ عَظِيمٌ فَقُلْتُ هَذِهِ أُمَّتِي فَقِيلَ هَذَا مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَقَوْمُهُ وَلَكِنِ انْظُرْ إِلَى الْأُفُقِ فَإِذَا سَوَادٌ عَظِيمٌ ثُمَّ قِيلَ انْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ فَإِذَا سَوَادٌ عَظِيمٌ فَقِيلَ هَذِهِ أُمَّتُكَ وَمَعَهُمْ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ)) فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمُ الَّذِينَ صَحِبُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمُ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَمْ يُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا قَطُّ وَذَكَرُوا أَشْيَاءَ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ((مَا هَذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ تَخُوضُونَ فِيهِ)) فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ ((هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَكْتَوُونَ وَلَا يَسْتَرْقُونَ وَلَا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ)) فَقَامَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ الْأَسْعَرِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ أَنَا مِنْهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ((أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ)) ثُمَّ قَامَ الْآخَرُ فَقَالَ أَنَا مِنْهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The nations were presented before me. I saw that with some prophets there was a group, with some a single individual, with some two individuals, and with some there was no one. Suddenly, a large multitude was shown to me. I said: Is this my Ummah? It was said: This is Musa (Moses), peace be upon him, and his people. Now look towards the horizon. There was a large multitude there as well. Then I was told: Now look this way. There too was a large multitude. Then I was told: This is your Ummah, and with them are seventy thousand people who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment. The Companions began to discuss among themselves, saying: Perhaps these are the people who remained with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Someone said: It seems these are those who were born in Islam and never associated partners with Allah Almighty. Other Companions mentioned further opinions. Meanwhile, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them and said: What are you deliberating about? They informed him of their conversation. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Those who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment are those who neither get themselves cauterized, nor seek ruqyah (spiritual healing), nor take bad omens, and they put their trust only in their Lord. Sayyiduna Ukasha bin Mihsan Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Am I among them? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You are among them. Then another man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Am I also among them? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ukasha has preceded you.
