Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7432 — from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah: The Messenger

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، ثنا حَبَّانُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، قَالَا: ثنا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا رَجَاءُ بْنُ حَيْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، قَالَ: أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ غَزْوَةً، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ادْعُ اللهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ، فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» ، فَغَزَوْنَا فَسَلِمْنَا، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ غَزْوًا آخَرَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ادْعُ اللهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ، فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» فَغَزَوْنَا فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ غَزْوًا ثَالِثًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ تَدْعُو لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَقُلْتَ: «اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» ، فَغَزَوْنَا فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا
ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ آخُذُهُ عَنْكَ، قَالَ: «عَلَيْكَ بِالصِّيَامِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ» فَكَانَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ وامْرَأَتُهُ وَخَادِمُهُ لَا يُلْقَوْنَ إِلَّا صِيَامًا، فَإِذَا رَأَوْا فِي دَارِهِمْ نَارًا أَوْ دُخَانًا عَلِمُوا أَنَّهُ قَدِ اعْتَرَاهُمْ ضَيْفٌ "
ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنِي بِأَمْرٍ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ اللهُ يَنْفَعُنِي بِهِ، فَمُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ آخَرَ يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ بِهِ، قَالَ: «اعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ لَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَكَ اللهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً، وَحَطَّ عَنْكَ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً»
Raja' bin Haywah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a military expedition, so I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, supplicate for martyrdom for me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, keep them safe and grant them spoils." We went on the expedition and returned safely. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on another expedition, and I said: O Messenger of Allah, supplicate for martyrdom for me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, keep them safe and grant them spoils." We went on the expedition, returned safely and also gained spoils. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a third expedition, and I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have come to you twice asking you to supplicate for martyrdom for me, and you said: "O Allah, keep them safe and grant them spoils." We went on the expedition, returned safely and also gained spoils.
Then I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed that I may learn from you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hold fast to fasting, for there is no deed like it." So Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), his wife and his servant were always found fasting, and when they saw fire or smoke in their house, they would know that a guest had come to them.
Then after that I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, you commanded me with a deed by which I hope Allah will benefit me; now tell me of another deed by which Allah will benefit me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Know that you will not make a single prostration for Allah except that Allah will raise you a degree by it and wipe away a sin from you by it."
