I always call upon Allah to make me one of the seventy thousand; if I continue in my supplication, will it be answered?

The questioner:
Seventy thousand from this Ummah will enter Paradise without reckoning. I always call upon Allah to make me one of them. If I continue in my supplication, will it be answered?
The Shaykh:
This is a good thing. Allah is near and answers. A person asks Allah for Paradise and asks Him for al-Firdaus, for nothing is too great for Allah to give. So the Muslim should call upon Allah and have a great desire for it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. Yes, yes.
The Shaykh:
However, one should not ask for things that are not fitting for him, such as asking Allah for the stations of the Prophets or the stations of the Messengers. Yes.
