It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and said: "Your Lord has given me the choice of two things: either seventy thousand people will enter Paradise without any reckoning, with complete forgiveness, or I may reserve my right concerning my Ummah." One of the companions (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Can anything be reserved with Allah?" Upon this, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went inside. After a short while, he came out saying "Allahu Akbar" and said: "My Lord has promised seventy thousand with every thousand, and with Him my right is also reserved." The narrator of the hadith, Abu Ruhm, asked Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Ayyub, in your opinion, what is that reserved right of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Hearing this, people looked at him with devouring eyes and said, "What concern do you have with the reserved right of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O leave it, I will tell you according to my estimation, rather with certainty, that the reserved right of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is this: O Lord! Whoever bears witness that there is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger, and his heart confirms what his tongue says, then grant him entry into Paradise."
