Then he recited: {Only those who are patient will be given their reward without account} (10).

٢٢ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: " مَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ نِعْمَةً فَانْتَزَعَهَا مِنْهُ، فَعَاضَهُ مَكَانَ مَا انْتَزَعَ مِنْهُ الصَّبْرَ، إِلَّا كَانَ مَا عَوَّضَهُ خَيْرًا مِمَّا انْتَزَعَ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: ﴿إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ﴾ [الزمر: ١٠] "
