Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “I was shown the nations before me and one or two prophets would pass by with only a few followers, another would pass by with none at all. Then, a large crowd of people passed in front of me and I said: Is this my nation? It was said: No, this is Moses and his people. Then it was said: Look at the horizon! Behold, there was a multitude of people filling the horizon. It was said to me: This is your nation from which seventy thousand will enter Paradise without reckoning.” Then, the Prophet entered his home and did not clarify who they were. The people started discussing the matter and they said, “We are those with faith in Allah and we followed His Messenger, so we are them! Or they are our children born into Islam, but we were born in the time of ignorance.” The Prophet heard them and he came out, saying, “They are those who do not seek treatment by Ruqyah, nor do they believe in omens, nor do they brand themselves. Rather, they rely upon their Lord.” ‘Ukkashah ibn Mihsan said, “Am I one of them, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet said yes. Another man said, “Am I one of them?” The Prophet said, “’Ukkashah has surpassed you.”
