Abu Dharr narrated that he pledged allegiance at the hands of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) five times, that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) took promises from him seven times and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) made Allah witness over him seven times that he should never fear the criticism of any critic when it concerned (the Deen/commands of) Allah. Abul Muthanna reports from Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) once called him and asked, Do you wish to pledge allegiance in exchange for Paradise? Abu Dharr complied and stretched out his hands. the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stipulated that he should never ask anything from anyone. When Abu Dharr agreed, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) added, Even if your whip falls from your hand you should (not ask anyone to retrieve it but) rather dismount and get it yourself. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to Abu Dharr that after six days he should take heed of what would be said to him. On the seventh day, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)told him, I advise you to adopt Taqwa in privacy and in public. In addition to this, when you do a wrong, immediately carry out a good deed, never ask anyone for anything even if your whip falls from your hand and never accept any trust. - Quoted by Nur al-Din Ali ibn Abi Bakr ibn Sulayman Abu al-Hasan al-Haythami in Majma al-Zawaid wa Manba al-Fawaid and graded the narrators as trustworthy; Imam Mundhiri quoted in targheeb wat tarheeb 2/37 and said that the narrators are trustworthy; classed as saheeh by al Albani in Targheeb wat Tarheeb, no. 810
