Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When this verse was revealed: "The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a grain of corn that grows seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies for whom He wills, and Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing." the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) made this supplication: O my Lord! Grant my Ummah more. So Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: "Who is it that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over." The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) supplicated: O my Lord! Grant my Ummah more. Then this verse was revealed: "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account."
