Sahih Muslim 1896d (Book 33, Hadith 202) #12012
Looking After Family & Wealth Rewarded

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sent a force to Banu Lihyan and promised those who stayed behind to look after the family and wealth of those who went on the expedition half the reward of the warriors.

It has been narrated (through a still different chain of transmitters) on the authority of Abu Sa'id Khudrl that the Messenger of Allah dispatched a force to Banu Lihyan. (and said: ) One man from every two should join the force. Then he said to those who stayed behind: Those of you who will look well after the family and wealth of those who are going on the expedition will be getting half the reward of the warriors.
وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، مَوْلَى الْمَهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَعَثَ إِلَى بَنِي لَحْيَانَ ‏"‏ لِيَخْرُجْ مِنْ كُلِّ رَجُلَيْنِ رَجُلٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْقَاعِدِ ‏"‏ أَيُّكُمْ خَلَفَ الْخَارِجَ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ بِخَيْرٍ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ نِصْفِ أَجْرِ الْخَارِجِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Look after your family's welfare; Protect your wealth; Do good deeds even if you cannot physically participate in activities; Receive reward from Allah SWT for doing so.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how looking after family and wealth is rewarded. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH sent a force to Banu Lihyan, which was an expedition known as Sariyyah in Arabic. He then said that those who stayed behind to look after the family and wealth of those going on this expedition would be rewarded with half of what warriors receive as Thawab or reward from Allah SWT. This hadith teaches us that looking after our families, taking care of our loved ones, and protecting our wealth are all important values that should be upheld in society. It also shows us that even if we are not able to go out into battle or take part in physical activities, we can still receive rewards from Allah SWT for doing good deeds such as taking care of our families and protecting their assets.
