Jami at-Tirmidhi 2446 (Book 37, Hadith 32) #28081
Relying on Allah for Salvation

SUMMARY: The Prophet (s.a.w) was taken for the Night Journey and passed by a large multitude of people, which were revealed to be his Ummah, and it was said that seventy thousand of them would enter Paradise without a reckoning. He then explained that they are those who do not get themselves cauterized, nor seek Ruqyah, nor read omens, and upon their Lord they rely.

Ibn 'Abbas narrated : "When the Prophet (s.a.w) was taken for the Night Journey, he passed by a Prophet, and, some Prophets and with them were some people, and a Prophet, and some Prophets and with them was a group of people, and a Prophet, and some Prophets and with them there was no one. Until he passed by a large multitude. (The Prophet (s.a.w)said: ) I said: 'Who is this?' It was said: 'Musa and his people. But raise your head and look'. There was a large multitude that covered the horizon, from one side to the other. It was said: 'These people are your Ummah, and there are seventy thousand besides these from your Ummah that shall enter Paradise without a reckoning'. So he went inside, and they did not question him, and he gave no explanation to them. (Some of them) said: 'We are them'. Others said: 'They are the children who were born upon the Fitrah and Islam'. So the Prophet (s.a.w) came out and said: 'They are those who do not get themselves cauterized, nor seek Ruqyah, nor read omens, and upon their Lord they rely'. So 'Ukashah bin Mihsan stood and said: 'Am I among them O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Yes'. Then another one stood up and said: 'Am I among them?' So he said "Ukashah has preceded you to it'." Other chains report similar narrations.

This hadith speaks about the importance of relying on Allah for salvation in this life and the hereafter. It is narrated that when Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was taken for the Night Journey he passed by a large multitude of people which were revealed to be his Ummah or followers. It is said that seventy thousand from this group will enter paradise without any reckoning or judgement day as they have relied solely on Allah in their lives; not getting themselves cauterized, seeking ruqyah or reading omens but instead trusting in their Lord alone. This hadith teaches us to put our trust in Allah alone as He is our only hope for salvation both here and hereafter; no matter how much we try to help ourselves with worldly means if we don’t rely on Him it won’t benefit us at all!
