حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا قَزَعَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سُوَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَى مَا أَتَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ مِنْ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى أَجْرًا إِلَّا أَنْ تَوَدُّوا اللَّهَ وَأَنْ تَقَرَّبُوا إِلَيْهِ بِطَاعَتِهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2415
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "I am not asking you for any reward for what I have brought to you of clear signs of guidance, except that you love Allah and drew close to Him by obeying Him."
