Home Hadith Hadith 6303
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "From my followers there will enter Paradise a crowd, seventy
thousand in number, whose faces will glitter as the moon does when it is full." On hearing that,
'Ukasha bin Mihsan Al-Asdi got up, lifting his covering sheet, and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke
Allah that He may make me one of them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah, make him one of them."
Another man from the Ansar got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah to make me one of
them. "The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "'Ukasha has preceded you."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 81, Hadith 131

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The people were displayed in front of me and I saw one prophet passing by with a
large group of his followers, and another prophet passing by with only a small group of people, and
another prophet passing by with only ten (persons), and another prophet passing by with only five
(persons), and another prophet passed by alone. And then I looked and saw a large multitude of
people, so I asked Gabriel, "Are these people my followers?' He said, 'No, but look towards the
horizon.' I looked and saw a very large multitude of people. Gabriel said. 'Those are your followers,
and those are seventy thousand (persons) in front of them who will neither have any reckoning of their
accounts nor will receive any punishment.' I asked, 'Why?' He said, 'For they used not to treat
themselves with branding (cauterization) nor with Ruqya (get oneself treated by the recitation of some
Verses of the Quran) and not to see evil omen in things, and they used to put their trust (only) in their
Lord." On hearing that, 'Ukasha bin Mihsan got up and said (to the Prophet), "Invoke Allah to make
me one of them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah, make him one of them." Then another man got up and
said (to the Prophet), "Invoke Allah to make me one of them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Ukasha has preceded
you."

is full."
