This world is fleeting and fleeting, and if you have sustenance in it, God Almighty will guarantee it. It must come to you while the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, is in a position with his Lord with which he will not have a request.

Then, soon after, I was guided to prefer what remains over the mortal, so I asked you to pray to God for me to be your companion in Paradise.
ما تقول يا ربيعة فقلت يا رسول الله أسألك أن تدعو لي الله تعالى أن يجعلني رفيقا لك في الجنة فقال من أوصاك بذلك فقلت لا والله ما أوصاني به أحد ولكنك حين قلت لي سلني أعطيك حدثتني نفسي أن أسألك شيئا من خير الدنيا ثم ما لبثت أن هديت إلى إيثار الباقية على الفانية فاسألتك أن تدعو الله لي بأن أكون رفيقك في الجنة

They said, Welcome to the Messenger of God, and welcome to the Messenger of the Messenger of God. By God, the Messenger of the Messenger of God does not return unless he needs it.
إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أرسلني إليكم لتزوجوني فتاتكم فلانة فقالوا فلانة فقلت نعم فقالوا مرحبا برسول الله ومرحبا برسول رسول الله والله لا يرجع رسول رسول الله إلا بحاجته
O Messenger of God, I came from the best family. They believed me and welcomed me and made a contract with me for their daughter. From where would I get them the dowry? So the Messenger summoned Buraida ibn al-Khasib, who was a master of my people, Banu Aslam, and said to him, “O Buraida, collect for Rabia’s weight of a nucleus in gold.” So they collected it for me, so the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to me, “Take this to them and tell them, ‘This is your daughter’s dowry.’”

And my servant will continue to draw near to Me with voluntary acts of worship until I love him. If I love him, I will be his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. And if he asks Me, I will grant his permission, and if he seeks refuge from Me, I will seek refuge from him, and I do not hesitate to do anything I do, as I hesitate to take the soul of my faithful servant. He hates death, and I hate to touch him.
ولا يزال عبدي يتقرب إلي بالنوافل حتى أحبه فإذا أحببته كنت سمعه الذي يسمع به وبصره الذي يبصر به ويده التي يبطش بها ورجله التي يمشي بها ولأن سألني لأعطي النه ولأن استعاذني لأعيذنه وما ترددت بشيء أنا فاعله ترددي بقبض نفس عبدي المؤمن يكره الموت وأنا أكره مساءته
