Imam Abu Dawood (رحمه الله), the renowned muhaddith and compiler of the Sunan Abu Dawood, was on board a ship when he heard a person on shore sneeze and say, 'Alhamdulillah' (All praise belongs to Allaah). He hired a small boat for one dirham and went ashore in order to reply to the person with the prescribed prayer, 'Yarhamukallah' (May Allaah have mercy on you).

When he returned to the ship, Imam Abu Dawood (رحمه الله) was asked why he had done so, he answered, "It is possible that the person who sneezed was a Mustajaabut Da'waat" (one who dua's are readily accepted by Allaah سبحانه و تعالى).

When the people on board later went to sleep, they heard a voice proclaiming, "O people of the ship. Abu Dawood purchased Jannah from Allaah at the cost of one dirham." [Fathul Bari, vol 10, p610]

The righteous servants of Allaah (سبحانه و تعالى) go to incredible lengths to earn divine rewards. [Pearls from the Path, vol 3]
