120. It was not (suitable) for the people of Medina and the Bedouins around them to hold back from the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him) by failing to accompany him during his campaigns and expeditions) and prefer their own lives to his life. That is because no thirst, fatigue or hunger afflicts them in the way of Allah, nor do they take any step enraging the (transgressing) disbelievers, or gain any advantage over an enemy, but a righteous deed is written on its account to their credit. Indeed, Allah does not waste the reward of the excellently virtuous.

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 يطؤون موطئا يغيظ الكفار ولا ينالون من عدو نيلا إلا كتب لهم به عمل صالح إن الله لا يضيع أجر المحسنين
