So that you may attain a reward similar to that of mine

It was reported about 'Utbah al-Ghulaam, that when he was ready to break his fast [at sunset], he would say to some of his companions around him:

"Go and get me [some] water or dried dates to break my fast with, so that you may attain a reward similar to that of mine."[1]
