Musnad Ahmad 981:62

And from the Hadith of Thawban (RA)

ومن حديث ثوبان

Hadith 981:62

Yazid ibn Harun and Abu al-Nadr narrated to us, they said: Ibn Abi Dhi'b narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Qays, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Mu'awiyah, from Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Who will guarantee one thing for me, and I will guarantee Paradise for him?" I said: "I will, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Do not ask people for anything." It was said that sometimes Thawban’s whip would fall while he was on his camel, and he would not ask anyone to hand it to him; rather, he would descend to it and pick it up himself.

حدثنا يزيد بن هارون، وأبو النضر قالا: حدثنا ابن أبي ذئب، عن محمد بن قيس، عن عبد الرحمن بن معاوية ، عن ثوبان مولى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " من يتقبل لي بواحدة أتقبل له بالجنة؟ ". قال: قلت: أنا يا رسول الله. قال: " لا تسأل الناس شيئا " قال: فربما سقط سوط ثوبان وهو على البعير فما يسأل أحدا أن يناوله حتى ينزل إليه فيأخذه.
