Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7433 — from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah: The Messenger

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ بَعْثًا، فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهِمْ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي الشَّهَادَةَ، فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ جَيْشًا آخَرَ، فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهِمْ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي الشَّهَادَةَ، فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتَيْتُكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَقُلْتُ: «اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَأْمُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ قَالَ: «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ، وَلَا عِدْلَ لَهُ» قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ: «قَدْ رُزِقَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ خَيْرًا»
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) sent out an army, and I went out with them. I said: O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah that He grant me martyrdom. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, keep them safe and grant them spoils." We returned safely and also gained spoils. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out another army, and I went out with it too and said: O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah that He grant me martyrdom. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, keep them safe and grant them spoils." Then the third time the same happened, so I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have come to you three times asking you to supplicate for martyrdom for me, and each time you said: "O Allah, keep them safe and grant them spoils." We have returned safely and gained spoils, O Messenger of Allah, so now tell me of a deed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hold fast to fasting, for there is no deed like it and none equal to it." Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was granted good through it.
