Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I was standing guard at the frontier, (suddenly) people became alarmed and rushed towards the coast. Then it was said that there is nothing (to worry about). So the people returned, and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) remained standing. A man passed by him and said: Abu Hurairah! Why are you standing here? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Standing for a while in the path of Allah is better than spending the Night of Qadr in prayer by the Black Stone."
