It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Amir that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went with his uncle, Sayyiduna ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), to the seventy Ansar who were under a tree at ‘Aqaba. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever among you wishes to speak, let him speak, but do not prolong the speech, for a spy of the polytheists is watching you, and if they come to know of your actions, they will disgrace you. Then their spokesman, Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), said: O Muhammad! Ask whatever you wish from your Lord, and then ask from us whatever you wish for yourself and your companions. Then tell us, if we fulfill these responsibilities, what reward will we have with Allah Almighty? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I ask you for my Lord that you worship Him and do not associate anything with Him, and for myself and my companions, I ask you to provide us shelter, help us, and protect us from those things from which you protect your own lives. They said: If we do this, what will we get? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You will get Paradise. They said: Then what you have asked for shall be fulfilled.
