The question

What is the explanation of the hadith in which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned that the seventy thousand who enter Paradise without reckoning "do not practice divination by birds, nor do they cauterize, and upon their Lord they rely"? And is it true that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was given with each thousand seventy thousand? And are these attributes acquired or innate, and can a person wish for that to attain the favor of Allah the Almighty?
