Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "I prayed to my Lord, and He promised me that He will admit seventy thousand of my Ummah into Paradise, who will be like the moon on the night of the full moon. I asked Him for more, and He gave me more: with every thousand, seventy thousand people. I said: 'O my Lord! What if the Muhajirun of my Ummah are not that many?' The Lord said: 'I will complete this number for you from the Bedouins.'" (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: A narration from this Companion is reported in the Sahih in abridged form.
Ahmad recorded it; its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
