Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, at night, we stayed late talking at the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When we came in the morning, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Last night, various noble Prophets (peace be upon them) were presented before me along with their nations. So, a Prophet passed by and only three men were with him, another Prophet passed by and he had a small group with him, another Prophet passed by and he had a group with him, and there was a Prophet with whom there was not even a single person. Then Musa (peace be upon him) passed by me, and with him was a very large number of the Children of Israel. Seeing this, I was amazed and I asked: 'Who are these people?' I was told that these are your brother Musa and the people of the Children of Israel with him. I asked: 'Then where is my Ummah?' I was told: 'Look to your right.' I looked to my right and saw a mound filled with faces of people. Then I was told: 'Look to your left.' I looked to my left and saw the horizon filled with faces of people. Then I was told: 'Are you pleased?' I said: 'O Lord! I am pleased, I am happy.' Then I was told: 'With these people, there will also be seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning.'"

Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna 'Ukasha bin Mihsan Asadi (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Pray to Allah that He includes me among them." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! Include him among them." Then another man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Pray to Allah that He includes me among them." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "'Ukasha has preceded you."
