Anas bin Malik reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Basbasah as a scout to find out what the caravan of Abu Sufyan was doing. He came back when there was no one in the house except myself and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He told him the news.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and addressed the people, saying, "We have a target to pursue. Whoever has his mount ready, let him ride with us."Some men began asking his permission to fetch their mounts from the upper part of Madinah, but he said, "No, only those whose mounts are already at hand."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out with his companions until they reached the place ahead of the polytheists. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Let none of you advance toward anything until I am in front of him."The polytheists drew near, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Rise to a Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth."Umayr bin al-Humam al-Ansari said, "Messenger of Allah, a Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth?"He replied, "Yes."Umayr said, "Excellent, excellent!"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What makes you say, 'Excellent, excellent'?"He answered, "Nothing, by Allah, Messenger of Allah, except the hope that I may be among its people."He said, "You are indeed among its people."Umayr then took out some dates from his quiver and began eating them. Then he said, "If I were to live until I finish eating these dates of mine, that would be a long life indeed."So he threw aside the dates he had with him, then fought them until he was killed.

عن أنس بن مالك قال

بعث رسول الله ﷺ بسيسة عينا ينظر ما صنعت عير أبي سفيان فجاء وما في البيت أحد غيري وغير رسول الله ﷺ قال: فحدثه الحديث، قال: فخرج رسول الله ﷺ فتكلم، فقال: إن لنا طلبة فمن كان ظهره حاضرا فليركب معنا فجعل رجال يستأذنونه في ظهرانهم في علو المدينة فقال: لا إلا من كان ظهره حاضرا فانطلق رسول الله ﷺ وأصحابه حتى سبقوا المشركين، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: لا يقدمن أحد منكم إلى شيء حتى أكون أنا دونه فدنا المشركون، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: قوموا إلى جنة عرضها السماوات والأرض قال: يقول عمير بن الحمام الأنصاري: يا رسول الله! جنة عرضها السماوات والأرض؟ قال: نعم قال: بخ بخ فقال رسول الله ﷺ: ما يحملك على قول بخ بخ؟ قال: لا، والله يا رسول الله! إلا رجاءة أن أكون من أهلها، قال: فإنك من أهلها فأخرج تمرات من قرنه فجعل يأكل منهن، ثم قال: لئن أنا حييت حتى آكل تمراتي هذه إنها لحياة طويلة، قال: فرمى بما كان معه من التمر، ثم قاتلهم حتى قتل.
