عَنْ ضَمْضَمِ بْنِ زُرْعَةَ قَالَ شُرَيْحُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ مَرِضَ ثَوْبَانُ بِحِمْصَ وَعَلَيْهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قُرْطٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ فَلَمْ يَعُدْهُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى ثَوْبَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْكَلَاعِيِّينَ عَائِدًا فَقَالَ لَهُ ثَوْبَانُ أَتَكْتُبُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ اكْتُبْ فَكَتَبَ لِلْأَمِينِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُرْطٍ مِنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ لِمُوسَى وَعِيسَى مَوْلًى بِحَضْرَتِكَ لَعُدْتَهُ ثُمَّ طَوَى الْكِتَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُ أَتُبَلِّغُهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ بِكِتَابِهِ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى ابْنِ قُرْطٍ فَلَمَّا قَرَأَهُ قَامَ فَزِعًا فَقَالَ النَّاسُ مَا شَأْنُهُ أَحَدَثَ أَمْرٌ فَأَتَى ثَوْبَانَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَعَادَهُ وَجَلَسَ عِنْدَهُ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَامَ فَأَخَذَ ثَوْبَانُ بِرِدَائِهِ وَقَالَ اجْلِسْ حَتَّى أُحَدِّثَكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ”لَيَدْخُلَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا عَذَابَ مَعَ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا“
It is narrated from Shuraih bin Ubaid, he says: In Homs, Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) fell ill. At that time, the governor there was Abdullah bin Qurt Azdi. He did not come to visit him. When a man from the tribe of Banu Kila’ came to visit Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), he said to him: Do you know how to write? He replied: Yes. He said: Write. Then he dictated this letter: From Thawban, the servant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), to the governor Abdullah bin Qurt. To proceed! If there had been a servant of Musa or Isa (peace be upon them) in your region, you would certainly have gone to visit him in his illness. Then he wrapped up the letter and said: Will you deliver this letter to Abdullah? He said: Yes. So when that man went and gave the letter to Abdullah bin Qurt and he read it, he stood up in fear. The people said: What happened to him? Has some accident occurred? He went to the service of Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), visited him, and sat with him for a while. After that, when he got up to leave, Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) held his sheet and said: Sit down, I will tell you a hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Seventy thousand people from my Ummah will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment, and in addition to this, with every thousand of them, there will be seventy more people.
