Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي زُمْرَةٌ هُمْ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا تُضِيءُ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِضَاءَةَ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَامَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ يَرْفَعُ نَمِرَةً عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ سَبَقَكَ عُكَّاشَةُ.
English Translation
Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Talaqani narrated to us, he said: Ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Yunus, from al-Zuhri who said: Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab narrated to me that Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: "A group of seventy thousand from my Ummah will enter Paradise, their faces shining like the full moon on a full-moon night." Abu Hurayrah said: Then 'Ukkashah ibn Mihsan al-Asadi stood up, raising a striped garment upon him, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah to make me one of them." He said: "O Allah, make him one of them." Then a man from the Ansar stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah to make me one of them." He said: "'Ukkashah has preceded you."
