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.
