it was not proper for the people of madinah and those desert arabs around them to hold back from following gods messenger and to prefer their own lives to his life. this is because whenever they suffer from thirst or weariness or hunger for gods cause and whenever they take any step which provokes those who deny the truth or inflicts any loss upon the enemy it shall be counted as a good deed in the sight of god god will not deny the righteous their reward and whenever they spend anything be it little or much and whenever they traverse the land it is recorded to their credit and god will grant them the best reward for all that they have been doing.
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
