أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ
أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَيْشًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» فَغَزَوْنَا فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا حَتَّى ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ تَتْرَى ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَقُلْتَ «اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ أَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ» قَالَ فَكَانَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ لَا يُرَى فِي بَيْتِهِ الدُّخَانُ نَهَارًا إِلَّا إِذَا نَزَلَ بِهِمْ ضَيْفٌ فَإِذَا رَأَوَا الدُّخَانَ نَهَارًا عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ قَدِ اعْتَرَاهُمْ ضَيْفٌ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prepared an army, so I came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah for martyrdom for me. He said: "O Allah, grant them safety and spoils." So we went on a military expedition and we were safe and obtained spoils, until he mentioned that three times. He said: Then I came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, I came to you repeatedly three times asking you to supplicate for martyrdom for me, and you said: "O Allah, grant them safety and spoils," and we were safe and obtained spoils. O Messenger of Allah, so command me with a deed by which I may enter Paradise. He said: "You must fast, for there is nothing like it." He said: So Abu Umamah would never be seen with smoke in his house during the day unless a guest came to them. When they saw smoke during the day, they knew that a guest had come upon them.
