I was with Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night. and I brought him water and what he required. He said to me: Ask (anything you like). I said: I ask your company in Paradise. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Or anything else besides it. I said: That is all (what I require). He said: Then help me to achieve this for you by devoting yourself often to prostration.  

كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَحَاجَتِهِ فَقَالَ لِي سَلْ فَقُلْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ مُرَافَقَتَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ أَوَغَيْرَ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ هُوَ ذَاكَ قَالَ فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ  

"I used to bring to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ water for wudu and serve him. He said: 'Ask of me.' I said: 'I want to be with you in Paradise.' He said: 'Is there anything else?' I said: 'That is all.' He said: 'Help me to fulfill your wish by prostrating a great deal.'"  

كُنْتُ آتِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَبِحَاجَتِهِ فَقَالَ سَلْنِي قُلْتُ مُرَافَقَتَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ أَوَغَيْرَ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ هُوَ ذَاكَ قَالَ فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ  

I used to live with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at night. I would bring water for his ablution and his need. He asked: Ask me. I said: Your company in Paradise. He said: Is there anything other than that ? I said: It is only that. He said: Help me for yourself by making prostrations abundantly.  

سَمِعْتُ رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ الأَسْلَمِيَّ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ آتِيهِ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَبِحَاجَتِهِ فَقَالَ سَلْنِي فَقُلْتُ مُرَافَقَتَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ أَوَغَيْرَ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ هُوَ ذَاكَ قَالَ فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ  

"كُنْتُ أَبيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ (*) بِوَضُوئِهِ وَبِحَاجَتِهِ، فَكَانَ

يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَقُولُ: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّى وَبِحَمْدِهِ الْهَوِىَّ، (* *) سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، سُبْحَانَ

رَبِّ الْعَالَمينَ الْهَوِىِّ، فَقَال: رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : "هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ؟ " فَقُلْتُ: يَا

رَسُولَ الله! مُرَافَقَتُكَ في الْجَنَّةِ، قَالَ: "أَوَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ؟ "، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! هِىَ حَاجَتِى،

قَالَ: "فَأَعِنِّى عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ".
