Hazrat Abu Hurairah narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I asked Allah for intercession for my Ummah, so Allah said: For you there are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning. I said: O my Lord! Increase it for me! He said: For you, with every seventy thousand, there are seventy thousand more. I said: And increase it for me! He said: For you, there are so many and so many and so many more. Abu Bakr said: That is enough for us. Hazrat Umar said: O Abu Bakr! Leave the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, (to continue). Hazrat Abu Bakr said: O Umar! We are but a handful of Allah.
