حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ وَکَانَ ثَوْبَانُ مَوْلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ يَکْفُلُ لِي أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا وَأَتَکَفَّلُ لَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ ثَوْبَانُ أَنَا فَکَانَ لَا يَسْأَلُ أَحَدًا شَيْئًا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1643
Thawban, the client of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, reported him as saying: If anyone guarantees me that he will not beg from people, I will guarantee him Paradise. Thawban said: I (will not beg). He never asked anyone for anything.
