Narrated Ibn `Abbas:The Prophet (ﷺ) once came out to us and said, "Some nations were displayed before me. A prophet would pass in front of me with one man, and another with two men, and another with a group of people. and another with nobody with him. Then I saw a great crowd covering the horizon and I wished that they were my followers, but it was said to me, 'This is Moses and his followers.' Then it was said to me, 'Look'' I looked and saw a big gathering with a large number of people covering the horizon. It was said, "Look this way and that way.' So I saw a big crowd covering the horizon. Then it was said to me, "These are your followers, and among them there are 70,000 who will enter Paradise without (being asked about their) accounts. " Then the people dispersed and the Prophet (ﷺ) did not tell who those 70,000 were. So the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) started talking about that and some of them said, "As regards us, we were born in the era of heathenism, but then we believed in Allah and His Apostle . We think however, that these (70,000) are our offspring." That talk reached the Prophet (ﷺ) who said, "These (70,000) are the people who do not draw an evil omen from (birds) and do not get treated by branding themselves and do not treat with Ruqya, but put their trust (only) in their Lord." then 'Ukasha bin Muhsin got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Am I one of those (70,000)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes." Then another person got up and said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, " 'Ukasha has anticipated you."

Sahih
Sa'id ibn Jubayr reported that Ibn 'Abbas said, "One day the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came out to us and said, 'All the nations were shown to me. A Prophet will pass by with one man, a Prophet with two men, a Prophet with a small band of people, and a Prophet with no one with him. Then I saw an enormous mass which blocked out the horizon and I hoped that they would be my community. It was said, "This is Musa and his people." Then I was told, "Look at the horizon," and there was a dark mass which filled the horizon. Then it was said to me, 'Look,' and there was a mass which filled the horizon. It was said, 'This is your community and among them are seventy thousand who will enter the Garden without reckoning.' Then the people broke up when he had not made them clear. The Companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, began to discuss it and said, 'We were born in shirk, but we believed in Allah and His Messenger. Rather they are our sons.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, heard about that and said, "They are those who do not look for omens, do not make charms, are not cauterised and trust in their Lord." 'Ukasha ibn Mihsan stood and asked, 'Am I one of them, Messenger of Allah?' 'Yes,' he answered. Another stood and asked, 'Am I one of them?" He said, ''Ukasha has beaten up to it.'"
