Abstract: ... rd taa'fah means one or more than one, and is not a specific number; this is what is reported from Ibn `Abbaas and others like an-Nakh`i and Mujaahid.

The belief in the Fountain (al-Kawthar) of the Messenger (S), and that whoever drinks once from it on the Day of Judgement will never thirst after that. The belief that seventy thousand (70,000) members of the Ummah of Muhammad (S) would enter the Jannah without reckoning. The belief in the good and evil consequences of al-Qadar. ...
