Iyad bin Utayf (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I visited Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) during his illness. His wife Tuhayfah was sitting at his head, and he had his face turned towards the wall. I asked: "How did Abu Ubaydah spend the night?" She said: "He spent the night with reward." Then he (Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah, may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! I did not spend the night with reward." The people disliked this, so he said: "Why do you not ask me about what I said?" They said: "We did not like what you said, so how could we ask you?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever spends surplus wealth in the path of Allah will have it multiplied seven hundred times, and whoever spends on his family, or visits a sick person, or removes something harmful (from the road), then a good deed is worth ten like it. Fasting is a shield as long as one does not tear it, and whoever Allah tests with an affliction in his body, it is a means of shedding his sins.'"
