Abu Qatadah and Abu Dahma say that we came to a Bedouin man, and he said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, took my hand and taught me those things which Allah Almighty had taught him. So among the things that I remembered from what I heard from him, one was this: "Indeed, whatever you leave out of fear of Allah, Allah will grant you something better than it."

Hadith 1136
1136 - أنا بِهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أنا ابْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، نا ابْنُ عَفَّانَ، نا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، نا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، نا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ، وَفِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، وَأَبِي بِلَالٍ رَجُلٌ قَدْ سَمَّاهُ
This hadith is also narrated through another chain from Humaid bin Hilal with his chain in the same manner, but in it, this hadith is narrated from Abu Qatadah and Abu Bilal, and they also mentioned the name of that man.
Humaid bin Hilal narrates from a man, who said that I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), a pulpit was placed for you whose legs were of iron, I memorized what you taught me, you said: "Indeed, whatever you leave for the sake of seeking Allah's pleasure, Allah will grant you something better in its place."
Humaid bin Hilal narrates from the person who either asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) or heard from him. He said: I presented myself before the Prophet (peace be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon. I said: Teach me from the knowledge that Allah has granted you. The Prophet (peace be upon him) descended (from the pulpit), and a chair made of palm bark with iron legs was placed for him. Then he said: "Indeed, whatever you leave for the sake of Allah out of fear of Him, Allah will grant you something better in its place." Rifaa’ah ‘Adawi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I am a stranger, I have come to ask you about the religion, I do not have knowledge about the religion. He says that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) descended (from the pulpit), interrupted his sermon, then a chair made of palm bark with iron legs was brought, and he began to teach me what Allah Almighty had taught him. Then he (again) ascended the pulpit for his sermon.
