'Abd al-Razzaq told us: Ma'mar told us, from Qatadah, from al-Hasan, from 'Imran ibn Husayn, from Ibn Mas'ud, who said: We talked a great deal one night in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, then we came to him the next morning, and he said: 'The prophets were shown to me tonight along with their nations. A prophet would pass by with three followers with him, and a prophet with a small band with him, and a prophet with a few men with him, and a prophet with no one with him at all — until Musa passed by me with a great multitude from the Children of Israel, and they impressed me. I said, "Who are these?" I was told, "This is your brother Musa, with the Children of Israel with him." I said, "Then where is my nation?" I was told, "Look to your right." I looked, and behold, the hills were filled with the faces of men. Then it was said to me, "Look to your left." I looked, and behold, the horizon was filled with the faces of men. Then it was said to me, "Are you pleased?" I said, "I am pleased, O Lord, I am pleased, O Lord." Then it was said to me, "With these there are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning."' The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you — if you are able to be among the seventy thousand, then do so. And if you fall short of that, then be among the people of the hills. And if you fall short of that, then be among the people of the horizon, for I saw there people jostling one another.' Then 'Ukkashah ibn Mihsan stood up and said, 'Supplicate Allah for me, O Messenger of Allah, that He make me one of the seventy.' So he supplicated for him. Then another man stood up and said, 'Supplicate Allah, O Messenger of Allah, that He make me one of them.' He said, ''Ukkashah has beaten you to it.' He said: Then we talked among ourselves and said, 'Who do you think these seventy thousand are?' We said, 'A people who were born into Islam and never associated any partner with Allah until they died.' That reached the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said: 'They are those who do not seek cauterization, do not seek ruqyah, do not take bad omens, and rely upon their Lord.'
