1320. Rabī'ah bin Ka'b Al-Aslamī said: “I would spend the night with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ,[1] and would bring him his water for ablution, and (take care of) his needs. Once he said: 'Ask me (what you desire).' I said: 'Your companionship in Paradise.' He said: 'Anything else besides that?' I said: 'No, this is it.' So he said: 'Then help me with your (request) by plentiful prostrations.'" (Saḥīḥ)
1320 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهِقْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ السَّكْسَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ الْأَسْلَمِيَّ، يَقُولُ: كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آتِيهِ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَبِحَاجَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: «سَلْنِي»، فَقُلْتُ: مُرَافَقَتَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، قَالَ: «أَوَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ؟» قُلْتُ: هُوَ ذَاكَ، قَالَ: «فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ»

That is, I will intercede for you with Allāh to grant your wish, but you should worship much and prostrate much.
