[Machine] The messenger of Allah established a raid, so I approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to grant me martyrdom." He said, "O Allah, keep them safe and make them wealthy." So we went on the raid, and we returned safe and successful. Then he established another raid, and I approached him again and said the same thing. He replied, "O Allah, keep them safe and make them wealthy." So we went on the raid, and we returned safe and successful. Then he established another raid, and I approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have come to you for the third time. I ask you to pray to Allah for martyrdom." He said, "O Allah, keep them safe and make them wealthy." So we went on the raid, and we returned safe and successful. Then I said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, give me a command that Allah may benefit me with." He said, "You should observe fasting, for there is nothing like it." Abu Umamah used to rarely see smoke in his house during the day. But when smoke was seen during the day, they knew that a guest had arrived and Abu Umamah and his family were observing fasting. He said, "So I went to the Prophet and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you commanded me with something that I hope Allah has benefited me with. Give me another command.' He said, 'Know that whenever you prostrate to Allah, He elevates you in rank and removes a sin from you.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ initiated a battle, and I joined him. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for me to be martyred." He said, "O Allah, protect them and grant them spoils." I said, "We returned and gained spoils." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ initiated a second battle, and I joined him. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for me to be martyred." He said, "O Allah, protect them and grant them spoils." I said, "We returned and gained spoils." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ initiated a third battle, and I joined him. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have joined you twice before this. I asked you to pray to Allah for me to be martyred, and you prayed to Allah to protect us and grant us spoils, and we were protected and gained spoils, O Messenger of Allah, so pray to Allah for me to be martyred." He said, "O Allah, protect them and grant them spoils." I said, "We returned and gained spoils." Then I approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, command me to do a deed." He said, "Be steadfast in fasting, as there is nothing equivalent to it." He said, "Whenever Abu Umamah, his wife, or his servant were seen, they were fasting." He said, "If smoke was seen during the day in their house it was said, 'Perhaps some guests have stayed with them.'" He said, "I continued this until Allah willed." Then I approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, you have commanded us to fast, so I hope that Allah has blessed us in it, O Messenger of Allah. Command me to do another deed." He said, "Know that whenever you prostrate to Allah, Allah raises your rank and removes one of your sins."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ formed an army, and I approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for martyrdom for me." He said, "O Allah, protect them and give them booty." So, we set out for battle and achieved victory and collected goods until he mentioned that three times. Then, I approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have approached you three times, asking you to pray for martyrdom for me." He said, "O Allah, protect them and give them booty." We achieved victory and collected goods, O Messenger of Allah. Guide me towards an action that will lead me to Paradise." He said, "Fasting is the best action, as there is no equivalent to it." Abu Umamah was not seen with smoke in his house during the day, unless they had guests. When they saw smoke during the day, they knew that they had guests.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an expedition, and I went out in it. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah to grant me martyrdom." He said, "O Allah, grant them security and plunder." So we were secure and we plundered. Then he sent out another army, and I went out in it. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah to grant me martyrdom." He said, "O Allah, grant them security and plunder." Then the third time came, and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have come to you three times asking you to supplicate to Allah to grant me martyrdom." He said, "O Allah, grant them security and plunder." So we were secure and we plundered, O Messenger of Allah. Then order me to do something. Abu Umamah said: He said, "You should observe fasting, for there is nothing like it and it is incomparable." Abu Umamah said, "He was blessed with goodness because of that."

"عَنْ أبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: أنْشَأَ رسُولُ الله ﷺ غَزوًا فَأَتَيْتُه فَقُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله ادعُ الله لِى بِالشَّهَادَةِ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهمَّ سَلِّمهُمْ، وَفِى لفْظ: ثبِّتْهُم وَغنِّمْهُمْ، فَغَزَونَا فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا، ثُمَّ أَنَشَأَ رسولُ الله ﷺ غَزْوًا ثَانِيًا فَقُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله ادع الله لِى بِالشَّهَادَةِ، قَالَ: اللَّهُمَ سَلِّمْهُمْ، وَفِى لَفْظ ثبِّتْهُم وَغَنِّمْهم، فَغَزْونَا فَسلمنَا وَغنمنا، ثَّم أَنْشَأ رسُولُ الله ﷺ غَزْوَا ثَالِثًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلتُ: يا رسُولَ الله قَدْ أَتَيْتُكَ مَرَّتينِ أسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ

الله لي بِالشَّهَادَةِ، فَقُلتَ: اللَّهمِّ سَلِّمْهم وغنِّمْهم يَا رَسُولَ الله فَادْعُ الله لِى بالشَّهَادَةِ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهم وغنِّمْهُم، فَغَزْونَا فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا، ثُمَّ أتَيتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله مُرْنِى بِعَمَلٍ آخُذُه عَنْكَ فَيَنفعنى الله بِهِ، فَقَالَ؛ عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّومِ فِإنَّه لَا مِثلَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَيتُهُ بَعْد ذَلِكَ فَقُلتُ: يَا رَسولَ الله: إنَّكَ أمَرْتَنِى بِأَمْرٍ أرجو أَنْ يكونَ الله نَفَعَنى بِه، قَالَ: اعْلَمْ أنَّكَ لا تَسْجُدُ لله سَجْدَةً إلَّا رَفَعَ الله لكَ بِهَا دَرَجةً وَحَطَّ، وَفِى لَفْظ وَحَطَّ عَنْكَ بِهَا خِطيئَة".
