«قال عبد الله بن عباس عن رسول الله: هذه أمتك، ومعهم سبعون ألفاً يدخلون الجنة بغير حساب ولا عذاب... هم الذين لا يَرقون ولا يسترقون ولا يتطيرون وعلى ربهم يتوكلون، فقام عكاشة بن محصن فقال: ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم، قال: أنت منهم، فقام رجل آخر فقال: ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم، فقال: سبقك بها عكاشة»

Dimam ibn Tha'laba comes as the envoy of Banu Sa'd ibn Bakr

Banu Sa'd ibn Bakr sent Dimam ibn Tha'laba to the Prophet; he knelt his camel at the mosque door, walked in and asked which of them was Ibn Abd al-Muttalib, then adjured him by God on each duty in turn: did God send you? did He order us to worship Him alone and cast off the idols? the five prayers? zakat, fasting, hajj? and the Prophet answered each time, O God, yes. He testified, promised to add nothing and omit nothing, and the Prophet said: if the man with the two plaits is truthful he will enter Paradise; he went home and his people embraced Islam in a day. Ibn Ishaq's isnad reaches Ibn Abbas.
