it was not fitting for the people of medina and the bedouin arabs of the neighbourhood to refuse to follow allahs messenger nor to prefer their own lives to his because nothing could they suffer or do but was reckoned to their credit as a deed of righteousness whether they suffered thirst or fatigue or hunger in the cause of allah or trod paths to raise the ire of the unbelievers or received any injury whatever from an enemy for allah suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good nor could they spend anything small or great nor cut across a valley but the deed is inscribed to their credit that allah may requite their deed with the best .
ما كان لأهل المدينة ومن حولهم من الأعراب أن يتخلفوا عن رسول الله ولا يرغبوا بأنفسهم عن نفسه ذلك بأنهم لا يصيبهم ظمأ ولا نصب ولا مخمصة في سبيل الله ولا يطئون موطئا يغيظ الكفار ولا ينالون من عدو نيلا إلا كتب لهم به عمل صالح إن الله لا يضيع أجر المحسنين ولا ينفقون نفقة صغيرة ولا كبيرة ولا يقطعون واديا إلا كتب لهم ليجزيهم الله أحسن ما كانوا يعملون
