We said, "How did Abu Ubaydah pass the night?"

She said: "By Allah, he passed the night with a reward." Abu Ubaydah said: "I did not pass the night with a reward." He was facing the wall with his face, then he turned to the people with his face and said: "Will you not ask me about what I said?" They said, "We were not so impressed by what you said that we would ask you about it." He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'Whoever spends an expenditure that is superior in the path of Allah, then it is [rewarded by] seven hundred fold; and whoever spends on himself and his family, or visits the sick, or removes an obstacle, then the good deed is ten times its like; and fasting is a shield as long as one does not tear it; and whoever is tested by Allah the Almighty with an affliction in his body, it is a penance for him.'"
