Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The very first group of my Ummah to enter Paradise will have faces as bright as the full moon, then the group that enters after them will be like the brightest star in the sky." At that time, Sayyiduna ‘Ukasha (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah that He makes me among them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, make ‘Ukasha among them." Then another companion stood up and requested: O Messenger of Allah! Pray for me as well that Allah makes me among them. He said: "'Ukasha has preceded you."
