Sayyiduna Thawban (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said: “The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘Who will commit himself to holding fast onto one quality, I will guarantee him Jannah?’ Thawban (radiyallahu ‘anhu) says, ‘I said: ‘I will.’ Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘Do not ask people for anything.’”
Answer:
Imam Abu Dawud, Imam Ibn Majah and Imam Ahmad (rahimahumullah) have recorded this narration. ‘Allamah Mundhiri (rahimahullah) has declared the chain authentic.
(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 1640 , Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 1837, Musnad Ahmad, vol. 5 pg. 277, Targhib, vol. 1 pg. 581)
In Sunan Ibn Majah and Musnad Ahmad, the narration further mentions, ‘When Thawban (radiyallahu ‘anhu) would drop his whip while he was on his mount, he would not say to anyone: ‘Get that for me’ rather he would dismount and grab it himself.’
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
