Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي زُمْرَةٌ هُمْ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا تُضِيءُ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِضَاءَةَ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَامَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ الأَسَدِيُّ يَرْفَعُ نَمِرَةً عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مِنْهُمْ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ سَبَقَكَ بِهَا عُكَّاشَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Harmala ibn Yahya narrated to me: Ibn Wahb informed us: Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyab told me that Abu Hurayra narrated to him: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say, “A group of seventy thousand from my community will enter Paradise, their faces shining like the full moon on a full-moon night.” Abu Hurayra said: ‘Ukasha ibn Mihsan al-Asadi stood up, lifting the striped woolen wrap he was wearing, and said, “Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of them.” The Messenger of Allah said, “O Allah, make him one of them.” Then a man from the Ansar stood and said, “Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to make me one of them.” The Messenger of Allah said, “‘Ukasha has preceded you in this.”
