"عَن الشَّعْبِىِّ قَالَ: جَاءَتِ امرْأةٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الخَطَّابِ فَقَالَتْ: أَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ خَيْرَ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا إلَّا رَجُلًا سَبَقَهُ بعَمَل أَوْ عَمِلَ مِثْلَ عَمَلِهِ: يَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ، وَيَصُومُ النَّهَارَ حَتَّى يُمْسِى، ثُمَّ (تَجَلَّاهَا) الْحَيَاءُ فَقَالَتْ: أَقِلْنِى يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ، فَقَالَ: جَزَاكِ اللَّه خَيْرًا فَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتِ الثَّنَاءَ، قَدْ أَقَلْتُكِ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّتْ قَالَ كَعْبُ بْنُ سورٍ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنيِنَ: لَقَدْ أَبْلَغَتْ إِلَيْكَ فِى الشَّكْوَى! فَقَالَ: مَا اشْتَكَتْ؟ قَالَ: زَوْجَهَا، قَالَ: عَلَىَّ

"It was narrated from al-Sha'bi that he said: A woman came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and said: 'I complain to you about the best of the people of this world, except a man who was preceded by a deed or did a deed like his: he stands in prayer all night until morning, and fasts all day until evening.' Then shyness overcame her, and she said: 'Excuse me, O Commander of the Faithful.' He said: 'May Allah reward you with good, for you have spoken well in praise. I excuse you.' When she turned away, Ka'b ibn Sur said: 'O Commander of the Faithful, she has made her complaint to you very eloquently!' He said: 'What did she complain about?' He said: 'Her husband.' He said: 'Bring him to me.'
