The Shaykh’s remarks on the agreed-upon hadith (Seventy thousand will enter Paradise without reckoning...)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The well-known hadith in the two Sahihs is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said one day:
Seventy thousand people of my followers will enter Paradise without accounts يدخل الجنة من أمتي سبعون ألفا بغير حساب وجوههم كالقمر ليلة البدر
Sahih al-Bukhari 6472
Then there is some length in the story. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said in describing them:
They are those who do not use charms nor cauterise themselves nor seek omens and who rely on their Lord. هم الذين لا يسترقون و لا يكتوون ولا يتطيرون و على ربهم يتوكّلون
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 911
So a man from the Companions, whose name was Ikamah or Ikamah, stood up and said: “O Messenger of Allah, call upon Allah to make me one of them.” He said:
You are among them. أنت منهم
Another man stood up and said: “O Messenger of Allah, call upon Allah to make me one of them.” He said:
Ikamah got ahead of you with that. سبقك بها عكاشة
These are from the seventy thousand. These are the elite of the seventy thousand. The others are the select ones. If he asked his Lord for more, He gave him another seventy thousand. This does not mean that they are in the same proportion, in the same excellence, meaning, for example, if it is difficult for some of the attendees to understand that these first elite are, as they say today, some of them, we ask ourselves now: which seventy of these seventies enter Paradise before him? The answer comes: these first seventy. So from this it appears that there is no contradiction between this and that hadith. Anything else?
