Riyad as-Salihin 1342 (Book 11, Hadith 58) #37831
Rewards for Those Held Back by Valid Excuse

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that those who are held back from an expedition due to a valid excuse will still receive the same reward as those who participated.

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We accompanied the Prophet in an expedition when he said, "Some people have remained behind us in Al-Madinah, and we never cross a valley but they are with us. They share the reward with us because they have been held back by valid excuse". In another narration the wordings are: ".by any genuine excuse". In another narration the wordings are: "They are your partners in reward". Al- Bukhari.
وعن جابر رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ كنا مع النبي في غزاة فقال‏:‏ ‏ "‏إن بالمدينة لرجالا ما سرتم مسيرًا، ولا قطعتم واديًا إلا كانوا معكم حبسهم المرض‏"‏
