Entering Paradise with Bright Faces

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that a group of 70,000 people from his Ummah will enter Paradise and their faces will be as bright as the full moon.

Abu Huraira reported: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah saying: A group of my Ummah consisting of seventy thousand persons would enter Paradise; their faces would be as bright as the brightness of the full moon. Abd Huraira said: 'Ukkasha b. Mihsan al-Asadi then stood up wrapping the blanket around him and said: Messenger of Allah, supplicate (before) Allah that He should make me one among them. Upon this the Messenger of Allah said: O Allah, make him among them. Then stood up a man from the Ansa and said: Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah that He should make me one among them. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Ukkasha has preceded you in this matter.
