Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ زِيَادٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُكَّاشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'bah told us: I heard Muhammad ibn Ziyad say: I heard Abu Hurairah say: I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Seventy thousand of my nation will enter Paradise without reckoning." He said: 'Ukkashah said, "O Messenger of God, pray to God to make me one of them." He said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "O God, make him one of them." He said: Another man stood up and said, "O Messenger of God, pray to God to make me one of them." He said: He said, "'Ukkashah has beaten you to it."
