English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'The nations were presented to me. I saw a prophet with a small group, a prophet with one or two men, and a prophet with no followers. Then a great multitude was raised before me that filled the horizon. I wished it was my ummah, but it was said: This is Musa and his people. Then it was said to me: Look. So I looked, and there was a great multitude filling the horizon. It was said: This is your ummah, and among them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning.' He then entered his house without explaining further. The people began discussing among themselves and said: 'We are the ones who believed in Allah and followed His Messenger — we are they' — or: 'They are our children who were born in Islam while we were born in the pre-Islamic period.' That reached the Prophet (peace be upon him). He came out and said: 'They are those who do not seek ruqyah (incantations from others), do not cauterize, do not believe in bad omens, and put their trust in their Lord.' Ukkasha ibn Mihsan stood and said: 'Am I one of them, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Yes.' Another man stood and said: 'Am I one of them?' He said: 'Ukkasha has preceded you to it.'
