The questioner : ... to three groups: one third will enter Paradise without reckoning, one third will enter with a light reckoning, and one third will enter through intercession...
The Shaykh : How is this hadith interpreted?
The questioner : One third will enter Paradise without reckoning, the second third will enter with a light reckoning, and the final third will enter through intercession.
The Shaykh : And it is said that this is a hadith of the Messenger?

He was speaking in the mosque and then entered the chamber, so his companions began to speculate and guess who these people were. Some said, "These are the Muhajireen who migrated in the cause of Allah." Others said, "No, these are the Ansar." And others said, "No, they are neither these nor those; rather, they are our children who came after the death of the Messenger and believed in him without having seen him." Soon, the Messenger (peace be upon him) came out to them again and said: Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 911. A man from the Companions named Ikamah stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, call upon Allah to make me one of them." He said: .

Seventy thousand from my Ummah will enter Paradise on the Day of Resurrection without reckoning, their faces like the full moon on the night of the full moon.
يدخل الجنة من أمتي يوم القيامة سبعون ألف بغير حساب وجوههم كالقمر ليلة البدرThey are those who do not use charms nor cauterise themselves nor seek omens and who rely on their Lord.
