Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39886 — Reports on the Night of Aqabah

It is narrated from al-Sha'bi that Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) went with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the Ansar, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Speak, but do not prolong your talk. There are spies set upon you, and I fear the disbelievers of Quraysh for you." Then a man among them spoke, whose kunyah was Abu Umamah, and he was their spokesman on that day, namely Sayyiduna As'ad bin Zurarah (may Allah be pleased with him). He said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Ask of us for your Lord, ask of us for yourself and ask of us for your companions. And (tell us) what reward there will be for this." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I ask of you concerning my Lord that you worship Him and associate nothing with Him. I ask for myself that you believe in me and protect me from what you protect yourselves and your sons from. And I ask for my companions that you share your wealth with them in sympathy." The Ansar asked: "When we do all this, what will we receive?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Paradise is due to you from Allah."
