It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Lord has promised me that seventy thousand individuals from my Ummah will enter Paradise without reckoning or account. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Why did you not request an increase in this number? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I did request an increase, and Allah Almighty promised that with each of those seventy thousand, He would send seventy thousand more people. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Why did you not request even more increase? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I did request. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spread out his two arms and indicated, saying that Allah Almighty has promised to send even more people, as many as this, to Paradise without reckoning. Imam Ahmad’s teacher Abdullah bin Bakr spread both his hands forward, and Abdullah bin Imam Ahmad spread both his arms to his sides, indicating to fill them. Hisham said: Then this is from Allah Almighty; no one knows how many their number will be.

Narrated from Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Seventy thousand individuals from my Ummah will enter Paradise without reckoning; their faces will shine like the moon on the night of Badr, and their hearts will be like the heart of a single man. When I asked my Lord for more, He added seventy thousand more with each one of them. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I think this will reach the people of the towns and extend to the outskirts of the villages.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I requested my Lord and He promised me that He will admit seventy thousand individuals from my Ummah into Paradise; the faces of these individuals will be radiant like the full moon of the fourteenth night. When I requested an increase in this number, He added seventy thousand more with each individual of that number. I said: O my Lord! What if the number of emigrants from my Ummah does not reach that much? Allah Almighty said: Then I will complete this number from the common villagers.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, who says that Abu al-Qasim, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Seventy thousand individuals from my Ummah will enter Paradise without reckoning or account. A man said: Pray to Allah Almighty that He includes me among those people. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed for him: O Allah! Include him among those people. After that, another man stood up and said: Pray to Allah Almighty for me as well, that He may also include me among those people. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Ukkasha has preceded you in this.'

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A group of seventy thousand people from my Ummah will enter Paradise in such a state that their faces will be shining like the full moon of the fourteenth night. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that upon hearing this, Sayyiduna ‘Ukasha bin Mihsan Asadi (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up, adjusting his cloak, and said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray that Allah includes me among those people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him thus: O Allah! Include him among those people. After this, an Ansari man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray that Allah includes me also among those people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Ukasha has preceded you.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has promised me that He will admit seventy thousand individuals from my Ummah into Paradise without reckoning. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Yazid bin Akhnas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! This number in your Ummah is just like the small number of yellow bees among the common bees. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Lord has promised me seventy thousand, and with every thousand, He has promised an additional seventy thousand, and on top of that, there are three handfuls of Allah Almighty besides this number.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The person among you who will have the lowest rank in Paradise, Allah Almighty will say to him: Wish for whatever you want to ask for. That person will make his wishes, then Allah Almighty will ask him: Have you made your wishes? He will reply: Yes. Then Allah Almighty will say to him: Whatever you have wished for, you will be given all of it, and as much more as that.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The person with the lowest rank among the people of Paradise will be able to glance at his kingdom only once in two thousand years, and he will see distant places just as he sees nearby places. In the same way, he will see his wives and servants. And the one with the highest rank among the people of Paradise will be the one who will behold Allah Almighty twice every day.

. (Second chain of narration) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The person in Paradise with the lowest rank will see his gardens, blessings, servants, and thrones from a distance of a thousand years, and the most honored person with Allah in Paradise will be the one who will behold Allah morning and evening. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recited this verse: {وُجُوْہٌ یَّوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَۃٌ اِلٰی رَبِّہَا نَاظِرَۃٌ} (On that day, many faces will be radiant, looking at their Lord.) (Surah Qiyamah: 22, 23)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The person with the lowest rank among the people of Paradise will be the one who will wish to Allah Almighty, and it will be said to him: All this is for you, rather, even more than this will be given to him. Then he will be told: Ask for such and such things as well. Then it will be said to him: All this is given to you and even double of it is granted to you. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It will be said to him: All this is being given to you, rather, along with it, ten times as much is also being given to you.
