Volume 8 Book 76 Hadith 550

Volume 8, Book 76, Number 550:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “From my followers there will enter Paradise a crowd, seventy thou –
sand in number whose faces will glitter as the moon does when it is full.” On hearing that, ‘Ukasha
bin Mihsan Al-Asdi got up, lifting his covering sheet, and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah that
He may make me one of them.” The Prophet said, “O Allah, make him one of them.” Another man
from the Ansar got up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah to make me one of them. “The
Prophet said (to him), “‘Ukasha has preceded you.”
