Ibn 'Abbas : Allah's Apostle said, 'Nations
were displayed before me; one or two
prophets would pass by along with a few
followers. A prophet would pass by
accompanied by nobody. Then a big crowd of
people passed in front of me and I asked,
Who are they Are they my followers?" It was
said, 'No. It is Moses and his followers It
was said to me, 'Look at the horizon.''
Behold! There was a multitude of people
filling the horizon. Then it was said to me,
'Look there and there about the stretching
sky! Behold! There was a multitude filling
the horizon,' It was said to me, 'This is
your nation out of whom seventy thousand
shall enter Paradise without reckoning.'
"Then the Prophet entered his house without
telling his companions who they (the 70,000)
were. So the people started talking about
the issue and said, "It is we who have
believed in Allah and followed His Apostle;
therefore those people are either ourselves
or our children who are born m the Islamic
era, for we were born in the Pre-Islamic
Period of Ignorance.'' When the Prophet
heard of that, he came out and said. "Those
people are those who do not treat themselves
with Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or
good omen (from birds etc.) nor do they get
themselves branded (Cauterised). but they
put their trust (only) in their Lord " On
that 'Ukasha bin Muhsin said. "Am I one of
them, O Allah's Apostle?' The Prophet said,
"Yes." Then another person got up and said,
"Am I one of them?" The Prophet said, 'Ukasha
has anticipated you." ( HR : Bukhari )
