Thawban said: “The Messenger of Allah said: 'Who will commit himself to one thing, I will guarantee him paradise?' I said: 'I will.' He said: 'Do not ask people for anything.' So Thawban would drop his whip while he was on his mount, and he would not say to anyone: 'Get that for me' rather he would dismount and grab it.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1837)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ يَتَقَبَّلُ لِي بِوَاحِدَةٍ وَأَتَقَبَّلُ لَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَنَا قَالَ لَا تَسْأَلِ النَّاسَشَيْئًا فَكَانَ ثَوْبَانُ يَقَعُ سَوْطُهُ وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ فَلَا يَقُولُ لِأَحَدٍ نَاوِلْنِيهِ حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ فَيَتَنَاوَلَهُ
