حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ , عَنْ هِشَامٍ , عَنْ وَاصِلٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي عُيَيْنَةَ , عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ , عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , قَالَ : أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةً فَأَتَيْتُهُ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ , فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ " , قَالَ : فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا , قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوًا ثَانِيًا , فَأَتَيْتُهُ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ , فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ " , قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ غَزْوًا ثَالِثًا , فَأَتَيْتُهُ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , إِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَ مَرَّتِي هَذِهِ , فَسَأَلْتُكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ , فَدَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَنَا وَيُغَنِّمَنَا , فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا , يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ , فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ " , قَالَ : فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا , ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , مُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ , قَالَ : " عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ , فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ " , قَالَ : فَمَا رُئِيَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ , وَلَا امْرَأَتُهُ , وَلَا خَادِمُهُ إِلَّا صُيَّامًا , قَالَ : فَكَانَ إِذَا رُئِيَ فِي دَارِهِمْ دُخَانٌ بِالنَّهَارِ , قِيلَ : اعْتَرَاهُمْ ضَيْفٌ , نَزَلَ بِهِمْ نَازِلٌ , قَالَ : فَلَبِثَ بِذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ , ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , أَمَرْتَنَا بِالصِّيَامِ , فَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَنَا فِيهِ , يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , فَمُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ آخَرَ , قَالَ : " اعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ لَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَ اللَّهُ لَكَ بِهَا دَرَجَةً , وَحَطَّ عَنْكَ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) organized an army (in which I was also present). I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah for martyrdom for me." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, "O Allah! Keep him safe and grant him spoils of war." Thus, we returned safe and sound with the spoils of war. (When the army was organized again, I made the same request and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made the same prayer.) The third time when the army was organized, I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have come to you twice before and requested you to pray to Allah for martyrdom for me, but you prayed for safety and spoils of war, and we returned safe and sound with the spoils of war. Therefore, O Messenger of Allah! Now pray for martyrdom for me." But the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again prayed for safety and spoils of war, and we returned safe and sound with the spoils of war. After that, I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Command me to do some deed." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Make fasting obligatory upon yourself, for you will meet (Allah) in the state of fasting." And if during the day smoke was seen rising from their house, people would understand that today a guest has come to them. Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I continued to act upon this for a long time, as long as Allah willed. Then I came to the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You had commanded me to fast. I hope that Allah has granted us its blessings. Now tell me another deed." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Be certain that if you prostrate once for Allah, Allah will, by its blessing, raise your rank by one degree and forgive one sin."
