"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 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 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 آتِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَبِحَاجَتِهِ فَقَالَ «سَلْنِي» فَقُلْتُ مُرَافَقَتَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ «أَوْ غَيْرَ 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".
