Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33900 — What Allah the Exalted gave Muhammad

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I asked for intercession for my Ummah, and Allah said: For you are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning. I said: O my Lord, grant me more. He said: For you, with every thousand, are seventy thousand. I said: Grant me more. He said: For you are this many, and this many, and this many. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: That is enough for us. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Abu Bakr, leave the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) alone. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr said: O Umar, we are only one handful of Allah.
