The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: I was shown all the Ummahs (I saw) some Nabi was taking his Ummah, some was taking a group, some was taking 10 people, some was taking 5 people and some Nabi was going alone. Then I saw a very big Jama’at (group) so I asked Jibra`eel: O Jibra`eel! Is it my Ummah? Jibra`eel replied! No! But rather you look towards the sky! When I looked towards the sky I saw a very big Jama’at (group). Jibra`eel said: This is your Ummah, 70 thousand people out of it will enter Paradise first without any accountability. I then said: What is its reason? Jibra`eel then replied: These are the people who neither get them marked (on their wounds with iron, etc.) (i.e. burning the wound is permissible, but in the pre-Islamic era, burning a mark was considered to be a permanent means of getting rid of the illness, that’s why the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم declared it contrary to absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ), nor do they perform magic (i.e. abstain from the exorcism of unbelievers, otherwise it is Sunnah to have Dam (blow) with Quranic Ayahs and Du’a-e-Maasurah), nor do they make birds fly (for omen). And these people only place absolute trust in their Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Sayyiduna ‘Ukaashah Bin Mihsan رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ stood up and humbly said: Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Make Du’a for me that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ also includes me amongst such people. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم made Du’a: Ya Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Also include ‘Ukaashah amongst them. Then another person stood up and humbly said: Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Make Du’a for me as well that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ also includes me amongst them. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: (regarding this Du’a) ‘Ukaashah has surpassed you. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 258, Hadees 6541)
