Sayyiduna Utbah bin Abd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Lord has promised me that He will admit seventy thousand people of my nation into Paradise without any reckoning, and then every thousand of them will intercede for seventy thousand people." (Allamah Haythami says:) I say: After this he mentioned the complete hadith, which is a long narration and will come further on in the chapter on the description of Paradise.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and al-Mu'jam al-Kabir by way of Amir bin Zayd al-Bakali. Ibn Abi Hatim mentioned him but neither criticised him nor declared him trustworthy; the remaining narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy).
