Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سِيرِينَ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عِمْرَانُ، قَالَ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا وَمَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ هُمُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَكْتَوُونَ وَلاَ يَسْتَرْقُونَ وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَامَ عُكَّاشَةُ فَقَالَ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Yahya ibn Khalaf al-Bahili narrated to us: al-Mu‘tamir narrated to us, from Hisham ibn Hassan, from Muhammad—meaning Ibn Sirin—who said: ‘Imran narrated to me: The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Seventy thousand from my community will enter Paradise without being called to account.” They asked, “Who are they, Messenger of Allah?” He said, “They are those who do not have themselves cauterized, do not seek ruqyah, and place their trust in their Lord.” ‘Ukasha stood and said, “Ask Allah to make me one of them.” He said, “You are one of them.” Then a man stood and said, “Prophet of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of them.” He said, “‘Ukasha has preceded you in this.”
