Sahih al-Bukhari 5488 (Book 76, Hadith 25)
with a few followers. A prophet would pass by accompanied by nobody. Then a big crowd of people
passed in front of me and I asked, Who are they Are they my followers?” It was said, ‘No. It is Moses
and his followers It was said to me, ‘Look at the horizon.” Behold! There was a multitude of people
filling the horizon. Then it was said to me, ‘Look there and there about the stretching sky! Behold!
There was a multitude filling the horizon,’ It was said to me, ‘This is your nation out of whom seventy
thousand shall enter Paradise without reckoning.’ “Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered his house without telling
his companions who they (the 70,000) were. So the people started talking about the issue and said, “It
is we who have believed in Allah and followed His Apostle; therefore those people are either
ourselves or our children who are born m the Islamic era, for we were born in the Pre-lslamic Period
of Ignorance.” When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard of that, he came out and said. “Those people are those who do
not treat themselves with Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or good omen (from birds etc.) nor do
they get themselves branded (Cauterized). but they put their trust (only) in their Lord ” On that
‘Ukasha bin Muhsin said. “Am I one of them, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?’ 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.”

The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
