<مَا كَانَ لِأهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُمْ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ يَرْغَبُوا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ عَنْ نَفْسِه ِِ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ لاَ يُصِيبُهُمْ ظَمَأ ٌ وَلاَ نَصَب ٌ وَلاَ مَخْمَصَة ٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ يَطَئُونَ مَوْطِئا ً يَغِيظُ الْكُفَّارَ وَلاَ يَنَالُونَ مِنْ عَدُوّ ٍ نَيْلا ً إِلاَّ كُتِبَ لَهُمْ بِه ِِ عَمَل ٌ صَالِح ٌ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

It is not advisable for the dwellers of the city and those around them of the Nomads that they should lag behind after the messenger of God, nor should they yearn for themselves above him. That is because any thirst that will come to them, or fatigue, or hunger in the cause of God, or any step that they take which will annoy the rejecters, or any gain they have over any enemy; it will be recorded as a good deed for them. God does not waste the reward of the good doers.

وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَاب ٍ بِقِيعَة ٍ يَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْآنُ مَاءً حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَه ُُ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْئا ً وَوَجَدَ اللَّهَ عِنْدَه ُُ فَوَفَّاه ُُ حِسَابَه ُُ وَاللَّهُ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ

As for those who reject, their works are like a mirage in the desert. A thirsty person thinks it is water, until he reaches it, he finds it is nothing; and he finds God there and He pays him his due, and God is swift in judgment.
